I think we want this here:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_gem.c
index 8dc11064253d..9663a79dd363 100644

 	dev = obj->dev;

 		kref_put(&obj->refcount, drm_gem_object_free);

 }
 EXPORT_SYMBOL(drm_gem_object_put_unlocked);
 
If it works I'll wrap it into a patch. Note you need rather new-ish kernel
to make sure we're sufficiently struct_mutex free in i915 (otherwise
there's still the locking loop). v4.10 should be new enough afaics.
