The codepath I'm fixing here cannot be responsible for
that, but it seems that X is missing protection against
such races in several places.
In the AMD driver, the problem was in the Composite hook.
But I see the Savage driver does not even implement it.
There's a readfb() function that lacks protection, but
apparently it's dead code.
