drm/gem/shmem: Extract drm_gem_shmem_release() from drm_gem_shmem_free()

Browse Source 
At the moment, the way that we currently free gem shmem objects is not
ideal for rust bindings. drm_gem_shmem_free() releases all of the
associated memory with a gem shmem object with kfree(), which means that
for us to correctly release a gem shmem object in rust we have to manually
drop all of the contents of our gem object structure in-place by hand
before finally calling drm_gem_shmem_free() to release the shmem resources
and the allocation for the gem object.

Since the only reason this is an issue is because of drm_gem_shmem_free()
calling kfree(), we can fix this by splitting drm_gem_shmem_free() out into
itself and drm_gem_shmem_release(), where drm_gem_shmem_release() releases
the various gem shmem resources without freeing the structure itself. With
this, we can safely re-acquire the KBox for the gem object's memory
allocation and let rust handle cleaning up all of the other struct members
automatically.
