Using stolen backed objects as a batchbuffer may result into a kernel
panic during relocation. Added a check to prevent the panic and fail
the execbuffer call. It is not recommended to use stolen object as
a batchbuffer.

I'd rather reject ALL "weird" gem objects at the first opportunity,
so that none of the execbuffer code has to worry about stolen, phys,
dmabuf, etc ...

No. All GEM objects are supposed to be first-class so that they are
interchangeable through all aspects of the API (that becomes even more
important with dma-buf interoperation). We have had to relax that for a
couple of special categories (basically CPU mmapping) for certain clases
that are not struct file backed. Though in principle, a gemfs would work
just fine.
The only restrictions we should ideally impose are those determined by
hardware.

I don't think it's reasonable to place objects that the kernel driver
cares about -- i.e. understands and decodes -- in memory areas that it
does not manage, and which may be subject to arbitrary uncontrolled
access by external hardware and/or processes.
And I thought we couldn't kmap stolen anyway?
