Leaving a drm_framebuffer behind on unload is definitely a bug, but
not fixed with this patch here I think.

The dma-buf lifetime issue is far worse, since we simply don't
handling those leaking past the lifetime of the exporting drm_device
at all. The dma-buf has references to a lot more than just the vma
manager. What we probably need is that every exported dma-buf holds a
ref on the underlying drm_device, but that means untangling the
refcounting&cleanup of that vs unplugging it.
