🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void drm_exec_unlock_obj (struct drm_exec *exec , struct drm_gem_object

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So what this does is unlock the GEM object and remove it from the collection of locked objects. Simple, iconic, does exactly what it says on the tin 🫶

⚠️ but listen — it should only be used to unlock the most recently locked objects. Unlocking objects that were locked a long time ago is not time efficient, and we don't do that here 💀
