Hi Brian,

I've got back from my holiday and had another look at the code when I've
realised that all this is probably not needed, as I don't think that
your initial assumption that drm_framebuffer_unreference() can sleep is
true. That means we can drop the framebuffer reference in the
drm_writeback_signal_completion() safely and we don't need all the
cleanup jobs.

I'm going to update the patch and also switch to
drm_framebuffer_{get,put} functions and send the new series today.

Best regards,
Liviu
