Oh yeah, much nicer. Except now the locking I came up here sucks. Need
to rethink that part somehow. Maybe I'll just slap an
ACCESS_ONCE(crtc->fb) there. Hmm, but I guess I'd also need to grab a
reference to the fb to avoid it disappearing while were looking at it.

This is starting to be a bit hairy. So maybe I should just stick our
current fbc scanout object to dev_priv->fbc.obj, and update it when
doing page flips/modeset. I really didn't want to start messing about
with fbc locking but looks like there's no way around it.
