Yeah this is a decent mess. I think a first incremental step would be to
move the ->old_fb and ->fb refcount updating into drm_atomic_commit -
clean_old_fb is a superbly misnamed function, what it really does is
update the legacy framebuffer pointer refcounts. The kernel-doc it has
also just serves to increase the confusion :-/

The only problem is that for an drm_atomic_commit in one of the legacy
callbacks we must _not_ do that, because the core already takes care fo
that. But having a drm_atomic_commit_legacy for that would be a lot
cleaner I think.

Once we have that I guess we could try and figure out what to do with the
refcounting of the legacy pointers at large.

Meanwhile the rules are:
- If you do an atomic commit, you must call clean_old_fb. Everywhere. We
  got away in a few cases because we've made nice symmetric commits (like
  suspend/resume) or commits where we know the fb doesn't get updated.

- Exception: When called from ->plane_update/disable, ->set_config or
  ->page_flip, the core does it for you.

It's a mess, but I'd like to decouple fixing that mess from fixing the
unload bug we have. I'll try to type up the drm_atomic_commit/_legacy
patch next week.
