Afaict the commit message should say why we want this, rather than
rewording what the patch does.

I'm not sure about the atomic status for wayland and others but this
commit might cause issues there. Additionally, with this patch we'll
send a lot of useless information to the kernel if one omits
drmModeAtomicCleanup(). The kernel will likely discard it but still
this doesn't seem like a good idea imho.
