Not sure what other option (unless moving fill_plane_attributes_from_fb 
to commit) since new fb parameters are needed in check to build the new 
plane state.
Before we did upstream refactoring get_fb_info was always called called 
from atomic_commit so it was within pin/unpin scope. Moving it out into 
check
we missed the problem Shirish just found. We can't do pin in beginning 
of check and unpin in the end of commit because as i said,
sometimes check is called w\o commit, and as much as I remember we can't 
do it in caller of  check/commit sequence without changing DRM code.

Thanks,
Andrey
