The drm_gem_dma_object_free() wrapper calls drm_gem_dma_free(), but its
description still names the former drm_gem_dma_free_object() helper.
Update the reference to match the wrapped function.

Also correct drm_gem_dma_object_get_sg_table() to document an error
pointer on failure. It forwards the result of
drm_gem_dma_get_sg_table(), which returns ERR_PTR() rather than NULL on
failure.

Throwing LLMs at this kind of things is neither a good use of computing
resources nor a good use of maintainer time. Please refrain from doing
so in the future.

I view it differently but respect your wish for drm.

Thanks,
