This BO will be cleared once again after executing amdgpu_bo_release_notify(). With the new implementation, there's a chance that changing the resource flag the second time would cause the WARN_ON to occur. Hence I removed the resource cleared function call in amdgpu_move_blit. Thanks, Arun.

Got it. I tried to add back the resource cleared after being wiped 
during eviction and verified it, and I didn't observe WARN_ON messages.

I will update the patch and send the next version.

Thanks,
