Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/gem: Delay tracking the GEM context until it is
registered

Avoid exposing a partially constructed context by deferring the list_add() from the initial construction to the end of registration. Otherwise, if we peek into the list of contexts from inside debugfs, we may see the partially constructed context and chase down some dangling incomplete pointers.

Fixes 3aa9945a528e ("drm/i915: Separate GEM context construction and registration to userspace")

References: f6e8aa387171 ("drm/i915: Report the number of closed vma held by each context in debugfs")
