Commit message needs to be augmented:
"Note that this can only be hit when fbdev emulation is disabled, since
then the refcount drops from 1 to 0 and we call the connector destroy
functions on the backup copy, which eventually results in tears. With
fbdev emulation the refcount only goes down from 2 to 1 ever. And since we
unconditionally increment the refcount on the real object, the refcount of
that will slowly increase. The backup connector's refcount doesn't matter,
since we kfree() that either way in the end of
drm_crtc_helper_set_config()."

The real bugfix is that you're switching from save_connectors to
set->connectors. This filtering here should be irrelevant.

And we need to keep the unreference here (but on set->connectors instead),
otherwise this will leak badly. In short this is the only place you need
to fix up, the other hunks shouldn't be needed.

Again, filtering on ->encoder is superflous.
