[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm: Don't grab an fb reference for the idr

[Daniel Vetter]

The current refcounting scheme is that the fb lookup idr also holds a
reference. This works out nicely bacause thus far we've always
explicitly cleaned up idr entries for framebuffers:
- Userspace fbs get removed in the rmfb ioctl or when the drm file
  gets closed.
- Kernel fbs (for fbdev emulation) get cleaned up by the driver code
  at module unload time.

But now i915 also reconstructs the bios fbs for a smooth transition.
And that fb is purely transitional and should get removed immmediately
once all crtcs stop using it. Of course if the i915 fbdev code decides
to reuse it as the main fbdev fb then it shouldn't be cleaned up, but
in that case the fbdev code will grab it's own reference.

The problem is now that we also want to register that takeover fb in
the idr, so that userspace can do a smooth transition (animated maybe
even!) itself. But currently we have no one who will clean up the idr
reference once that fb isn't useful any more, and so essentially leak
it.

Fix this by no longer holding a full fb reference for the idr, but
instead just have a weak reference using kref_get_unless_zero. But
that requires us to synchronize and clean up with the idr and fb_lock
in drm_framebuffer_free, so add that. It's a bit ugly that we have to
unconditionally grab the fb_lock, but without that someone might creep
through a race.

This leak was caught by the fb leak check in drm_mode_config_cleanup.
Originally the leak was introduced in
