Subject: [PATCH] drm/amdkfd: Don't acquire buffers during CRIU queue restore.

kfd_criu_restore_queue's call of kfd_queue_acquire_buffers was failing for multiple reasons
- The ctl_stack_size set by the CRIU plugin doesn't match what is expected by acquire_buffers
- The svm buffer cannot be acquired at this point because CRIU may not have restored it, or may have restored it to a different address.

The only reason acquire_buffers was necessary here was to avoid a null ptr dereference in init_user_queue.

Just put in a check for that dereference; it doesn't appear to come up in real use cases right now. That is, there is no usage of CRIU with shared MES.

This is a partial revert of
commit 20a5e7ffdfec ("drm/amdkfd: Properly acquire queue buffers in CRIU restore")
