The legacy plane->fb pointer is refcounted by calling
drm_atomic_clean_old_fb().

In practice this isn't a real problem because:
- The caller in the i915 gpu reset code restores the original state
  again, which means the plane->fb pointer won't change, hence can't
  leak.
- Drivers using drm_atomic_helper_shutdown call the fbdev cleanup
  first, and that usually cleans up the fb through
  drm_remove_framebuffer, which does this correctly.
- Without fbdev the only framebuffers are from userspace, and those
  get cleaned up (again using drm_remove_framebuffer) befor the driver
  can even be unloaded.

But in i915 I've switched the cleanup sequence around so that the
_shutdown() calls happens after the drm_remove_framebuffer(), which is
how I discovered this issue.

v2: My analysis why the current code was ok for gpu reset and
suspend/resume was correct, but then I totally failed to realize that
we better keep this symmetric. Thanksfully CI noticed that for
balance, a refcounting bug must exist at 2 places if previously there
was no issue ...

I have no idea what the rules should be here. Or how it should interact
with error. Should we just try the "drm: Track framebuffer references at
the point of assignment" approach to simplify the rules (at least from
my perspective)? The problem with that patch is sorting out the state
duplication done in a couple of drivers and figuring out if they are
transferring ownership or not.

Yeah this is a decent mess. I think a first incremental step would be to
move the ->old_fb and ->fb refcount updating into drm_atomic_commit -
clean_old_fb is a superbly misnamed function, what it really does is
update the legacy framebuffer pointer refcounts. The kernel-doc it has
also just serves to increase the confusion :-/

The only problem is that for an drm_atomic_commit in one of the legacy
callbacks we must _not_ do that, because the core already takes care fo
that. But having a drm_atomic_commit_legacy for that would be a lot
cleaner I think.

Once we have that I guess we could try and figure out what to do with the
refcounting of the legacy pointers at large.

Meanwhile the rules are:
- If you do an atomic commit, you must call clean_old_fb. Everywhere. We
  got away in a few cases because we've made nice symmetric commits (like
  suspend/resume) or commits where we know the fb doesn't get updated.

- Exception: When called from ->plane_update/disable, ->set_config or
  ->page_flip, the core does it for you.

It's a mess, but I'd like to decouple fixing that mess from fixing the
unload bug we have. I'll try to type up the drm_atomic_commit/_legacy
patch next week.
