As you saw later, this is used when have special drm_planes in the
pre-universal path, where we need divergent destroy paths. This is new
as of v13 so we can do that; I put it at the start since it was so
trivial. Happy to include the expanded rationale here or fold it into
the special-planes (cursor-plane) patch; whichever is better.

Cheers,
Daniel
