In certain scenarios, e.g. when fbdev is enabled, we can get into a situation where a vmw_framebuffer_pin() is called on a buffer that is already pinned. When this happens, ttm_bo_validate() will unintentially remove the TTM_PL_FLAG_NO_EVICT flag, thus unpinning it, and leaving no way to actually pin the buffer again. To prevent this, if a buffer is already pinned, then instead of calling ttm_bo_validate(), just make sure the proposed placement is compatible with the existing placement.

This fixes a BUG_ON() condition where a pinned buffer gets accidentally put onto the LRU list.
