As Alice mentioned we probably want a follow-up that makes the API more
symmetric (by calling `drm_gem_shmem_put_pages_locked()` in the
destructor?), as right now SGTableMap's Drop implementation doesn't undo
its constructor completely.

But this change is good to have regardless as we want to acquire the
pages after Devres' allocation succeeds, otherwise there is not point
returning an `impl Init`.
