CVE-2024-57844: linux kernel vulnerability

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Fix fault on fd close after unbind If userspace holds an fd open, unbinds the device and then closes it, the driver shouldn't try to access the hardware. Protect it by using drm_dev_enter()/drm_dev_exit().
