drm/vmwgfx: Fix invalid kref_put callback in vmw_bo_dirty_release
The kref_put() call uses (void *)kvfree as the release callback, which is incorrect. kref_put() expects a function with signature void (*release)(struct kref *), but kvfree has signature void (*)(const void *). Calling through an incompatible function pointer is undefined behavior. The code only worked by accident because ref_count is the first member of vmw_bo_dirty, making the kref pointer equal to the struct pointer. Fix this by adding a proper release callback that uses container_of() to retrieve the containing structure before freeing.
