[Nouveau] Advice about debugging nouveau driver suspend issue (init_on_alloc=1 and init_on_free=1)

[Ilia Mirkin]

The most straightforward thing, if you can reproduce at will, would be
to do a bisect to figure out which change this happened with. Once we
know which change caused the problem, it will hopefully provide with
more ability to sort out where we're going wrong. You can also play
with things like KASAN, although it's not clear to me that they would
necessarily catch this problem.

Cheers,
