On the other hand, we can check whether the GEM's refcount number is
zero in i915_gem_object_put_pages_dmabuf() and then take the lock if
it's zero.

Also, seems it should be possible just to bail out from
i915_gem_object_put_pages_dmabuf() if refcount=0. The further
drm_prime_gem_destroy() will take care of unmapping. Perhaps this could
be the best option, I'll give it a test.
