drm/tegra: Don't leak kernel pointer to userspace
Each open file descriptor can have any number of contexts associated with it. To differentiate between these contexts a unique ID is required and back when these userspace interfaces were introduced, in commit d43f81c ("drm/tegra: Add gr2d device"), the pointer to the context structure was deemed adequate. However, this leaks information about kernel internal memory to userspace, which can potentially be exploited. Switch the context parameter to be allocated from an IDR, which has the added benefit of providing an easy way to look up a context from its ID. Signed-off-by: Thierry Reding <treding@nvidia.com>
