[PATCH] radeon: workaround pining failure on low ram gpu

From: Jerome Glisse <jglisse at redhat.com>

GPU with low amount of ram can fails at pining new framebuffer before
unpining old one. On such failure, retry with unping old one before
pining new one allowing to work around the issue. This is somewhat
ugly but only affect those old GPU we care about.
