The unnerving part is that I didn't find any patch not anything else that
might fix this frontbuffer_bits leak. I also couldn't spot the bug.

The real reason why -next works and 4.0 doesn't seems to be that 4.0
reconstructs a bogus initial framebuffer and then falls over when cleaning
that up. -next just doesn't reconstruct that framebuffer and hence also
can't fall over on cleanup.

Can you please cherry pick 42a7b088127f (\"drm/i915: Make sure the primary
plane is enabled before reading out the fb state\") from -next to 4.0-rc
to test whether this is indeed the difference in ducttape?

Thanks, Daniel
