In the execbuf code we don't clean up any vmas which ended up not
getting bound for code simplicity. To make sure that we don't end up
creating multiple vma for the same vm kill the somewhat dangerous
vma_create function and inline it into lookup_or_create.
This is just a safety measure to prevent surprises in the future.
Also update the somewhat confused comment in the execbuf code and
clarify what kind of magic is going on with a new one.
v2: Keep the function separate as requested by Chris. But give it a __
prefix for paranoia and move it tighter together with the other vma
stuff.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
