[PATCH 00/10] drm/vkms: rework crc worker

Hi all,

This here is the first part of a rework for the vkms crc worker. I think
this should fix all the locking/races/use-after-free issues I spotted in
the code. There's more work we can do in the future as a follow-up:

- directly access vkms_plane_state->base in the crc worker, with this
  approach in this series here that should be safe now. Follow-up patches
  could switch and remove all the separate crc_data infrastructure.

- I think some kerneldoc for vkms structures would be nice. Documentation
  the various functions is probably overkill.

- Implementing a more generic blending engine, as prep for adding more
  pixel formats, more planes, and more features in general.

Tested with kms_pipe_crc, kms_flip and kms_cursor_crc. Seems to not make
things worse, but I didn't do a full run.

Cheers, Daniel
