    drm/i915: Fix use-after-free in do_switch

In this case, the issue is only for full PPGTT:
do_switch
  context_unref
    ppgtt_release
      i915_gpu_idle
	switch_to_default
	from changes to default context

This could be backported to the pre do_switch cleanup I did in this
series. However, it's much cleaner and more obvious as a patch on top,
so I'd really like to do this as a post cleanup patch.
