Title
drm/amdgpu/vcn: set no_user_fence for VCN v2.5 enc/dec rings
Summary
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amdgpu/vcn: set no_user_fence for VCN v2.5 enc/dec rings VCN encoder and decoder rings do not support 64-bit user fence writes, reject CS submissions with user fences. (cherry picked from commit efc9dd5590894109bce9a0bfe1fa5592dd6b20b1)
