CVE-2026-52950: drm/xe/dma-buf: fix UAF with retry loop

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/xe/dma-buf: fix UAF with retry loop

Retry doesn't work here, since bo will be freed on error, leading to UAF. However, now that we do the alloc & init before the attach, we can now combine this as one unit and have the init do the alloc for us. This should make the retry safe.

Reported by Sashiko.
