SGT isn't refcounted. Once SGT pointer has been obtained, it remains the
same for both locked and unlocked get_pages_sgt(). Return cached SGT
directly without taking a potentially expensive lock.

By doing that, you introduce a race between drm_gem_shmem_put_pages()
and drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt(). I know it's only happening if the
user doesn't follow the rule listed in drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt() doc
(caller must owns a pages ref before calling
drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt()), but now you return a possibly invalid
pointer instead of returning an error when this happens.
If that's what we want, we should at least update the documentation to
make it clear.
