[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Repeat unbinding during free if interrupted

If during the freeing of an object the unbind is interrupted a system
call, which is quite possible if we have outstanding GPU writes that
must be flused, the unbind is silently aborted. This still leaves the
AGP region and backing pages allocated, and perhaps more importantly,
the object remains upon the various lists exposing us to memory
corruption.

I think this is the cause behind the use-after-free, such as
