Added to drm-misc-fixes. Thanks a lot for the patch.

The recent fix for the deferred I/O by the commit
3efc61d95259 ("fbdev: Fix invalid page access after closing deferred I/O devices")
caused a regression when the same fb device is opened/closed while
it's being used. It resulted in a frozen screen even if something
is redrawn there after the close. The breakage is because the patch
was made under a wrong assumption of a single open; in the current
code, fb_deferred_io_release() cleans up the page mapping of the
pageref list and it calls cancel_delayed_work_sync() unconditionally,
where both are no correct behavior for multiple opens.

This patch adds a refcount for the opens of the device, and applies
the cleanup only when all files get closed.

As both fb_deferred_io_open() and _close() are called always in the
fb_info lock (mutex), it's safe to use the normal int for the
refcounting.

Also, a useless BUG_ON() is dropped.
