[PATCH 1/3] drm/atomic-helper: Fix leak in disable_all

The legacy plane->fb pointer is refcounted by calling
drm_atomic_clean_old_fb().

In practice this isn't a real problem because:
- The caller in the i915 gpu reset code restores the original state
  again, which means the plane->fb pointer won't change, hence can't
  leak.
- Drivers using drm_atomic_helper_shutdown call the fbdev cleanup
  first, and that usually cleans up the fb through
  drm_remove_framebuffer, which does this correctly.
- Without fbdev the only framebuffers are from userspace, and those
  get cleaned up (again using drm_remove_framebuffer) befor the driver
  can even be unloaded.

But in i915 I've switched the cleanup sequence around so that the
_shutdown() calls happens after the drm_remove_framebuffer(), which is
how I discovered this issue.
