[PATCH 1/2] drm/i915: Hold a reference to the object whilst unbinding the eviction list

[Chris Wilson]

During heavy aperture thrashing we may be forced to wait upon several active
objects during eviction. The active list may be the last reference to
these objects and so the action of waiting upon one of them may cause
another to be freed (and itself unbound). To prevent the object
disappearing underneath us, we need to acquire and hold a reference
whilst unbinding.

This should fix the reported page refcount OOPS:
