I'm on linux-next.  I'm not seeing the goto put_vm...  I think we're
looking at different code.

  3063  static int vm_bind_ioctl_check_args(struct xe_device *xe, struct xe_vm *vm,
  3064                                      struct drm_xe_vm_bind *args,

One.

Two.

Initialized.

I feel like ideally vm_bind_ioctl_check_args() would clean up after
itself on failure and, yes, it should be in reverse order from how
it was allocated.
