Next iteration of these fixes, taking into account the additional
issues discovered in the recent exchange with Ville (this series
is in-reply-to that thread):

* Patch 1 now with Reviewed-by tag by Ville (thanks!), moved to the
  front of the series.

* Patch 2 is new, fixes a double unref of the bo in a failure path
  of intelfb_alloc, spotted by Ville.

* Patch 3 is another attempt to eliminate the deadlocks in
  intelfb_alloc and intelfb_create, patch originally by Tvrtko.
  New in v6: Avoid unrefing the fb if it's an ERR_PTR,
  replace drm_framebuffer_remove with drm_framebuffer_unreference
  (Daniel).

* Patch 4 is new, plugs leak of a struct intel_fbdev in
  intelfb_create. Not sure if I made the right call in the case
  where the fb was inherited from BIOS, comments welcome.
  (I decided to leave the fb as is and limp on. Alternative would
  be to call drm_framebuffer_remove to free the memory occupied
  by the fb and disable the crtc; the fbcon will be unusable anyway
  at this point and if X11 is able to start up without errors,
  it should be able to reinitialize the crtc.)
