drm/xe: Fix reference count leak in xe_pci_barrier_mmap()

This commit removes a drm_dev_get() call in xe_pci_barrier_mmap(), with the
stated assumption that the vm_ops .open and .close callbacks already handle
the reference counting.

[Severity: High]
Will this removal lead to a device reference count underflow when the VMA
is eventually closed?

The memory management subsystem does not call a VMA's .open callback upon
initial creation via mmap(), it is only invoked during VMA duplication
like fork() or mremap(). Because the explicit drm_dev_get() is removed
in xe_pci_barrier_mmap(), the initial VMA is created without incrementing
the device reference count.

When the VMA is unmapped, barrier_close() unconditionally drops a reference:

static void barrier_close(struct vm_area_struct *vma)
{
        drm_dev_put(vma->vm_private_data);
}

Does this unmatched put cause a reference count underflow and potential
use-after-free of the drm_device?
