update the amdgpu_ttm_tt_get_user_pages and all dependent function

hmm layer allocates the buffer.

This is a need to get hmm_range pointers easily accessible
without accessing the bo and that is a requirement for the
userqueue to lock the userptrs effectively.

What's the reason for this change? In the current code, the hmm_range 
is allocated by amdgpu_hmm_range_get_pages and freed by 
amdgpu_hmm_range_get_pages_done. Your change is breaking that symmetry.

Sorry i missed your comment. For userqueues locking the userptr bos 
and making sure we have valid userptrs at the time of validation seems 
too complicated, so along with christian we decided to use hmm_range 
list instead and have reference to userptr bo and via hmm_range 
private field to be set to bo.



I don't think this will work. See my reply to your other code review. 
hmm_range->dev_private_owner is not a device-private field that you can 
use to store random driver-data associated with the HMM range.

Also i did made sure that wherever we are doing get pages and 
allocating range the freeing part is taken care of. Specially for 
freeing the memory is still done by amdgpu_hmm_range_get_pages_done 
only. Please share if anywhere i missed something. Also Christian 
brought out the point to have separate alloc/free for hmm_range which 
i am working on and will share soon.
