Konsta Holtta 7df3d58750 gpu: nvgpu: add safe channel id lookup
Add gk20a_channel_from_id() to retrieve a channel, given a raw channel
ID, with a reference taken (or NULL if the channel was dead). This makes
it harder to mistakenly use a channel that's dead and thus uncovers bugs
sooner. Convert code to use the new lookup when applicable; work remains
to convert complex uses where a ref should have been taken but hasn't.

The channel ID is also validated against FIFO_INVAL_CHANNEL_ID; NULL is
returned for such IDs. This is often useful and does not hurt when
unnecessary.

However, this does not prevent the case where a channel would be closed
and reopened again when someone would hold a stale channel number. In
all such conditions the caller should hold a reference already.

The only conditions where a channel can be safely looked up by an id and
used without taking a ref are when initializing or deinitializing the
list of channels.
