redraw issues on i915 since 4.9-rc

[Norbert Preining]

Dear all,

since 4.9-rc series started I see heavy redraw problems on i915. Starting
or resizing for example the digikam window messes up completely the content.

I have seen this at least since rc2 (I often wait till rc2), and 
confirm that 4.8.0 does not exhibit these problems.

A screenshot of the redraw problems is attached.
