"unecessary", "measurable"

Let's say we try to lock 3 objects A, B and C in chronological order and
in the first "drm_exec_cleanup() iteration" C is contended. Firstly, we
lock C in the next iteration. If now A or B is contended, we never set
exec->prelocked to NULL in drm_exec_prepare_obj(), since we did not yet
reach C.
Hence, this causes a double unlock, since the prelocked object is also
unlocked in the above loop.
Maybe I miss a detail, but to me it looks like setting exec->prelocked
to NULL and dropping the reference should be enough.
I found that through one of my tests causing the following warning while
porting over to your v3.

You may also want to document that this function returns -EALREADY for
duplicates and that the caller needs to handle it accordingly.
