Private objects storing a state shared across all CRTCs need to be
carefully handled to avoid a use-after-free issue.

The proper way to do this to track all the commits using that shared
state and wait for the previous commits to be done before going on with
the current one to avoid the reordering of commits that could occur.

However, this commit setup needs to be done after
drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit(), because before the CRTC commit
structure hasn't been allocated before, and before the workqueue is
scheduled, because we would be potentially reordered already otherwise.

That means that drivers currently have to roll their own
drm_atomic_helper_commit() function, even though it would be identical
if not for the commit setup.

Let's introduce a hook to do so that would be called as part of
drm_atomic_helper_commit, allowing us to reuse the atomic helpers.

It feels hacky and screwed-on to me. I'd suggest to add an atomic_commit_prepare callback that is called by drm_atomic_helper where it currently calls drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit(). The default implementation would include setup_commit and prepare_planes. Some example code for drm_atomic_helper.c

static int commit_prepare(state)
{
	drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit(state)

	drm_atomic_helper_prepare_planes(state)
}

int drm_atomic_helper_commit()
{
	if (async_update) {
		...
	}

	if (funcs->atomic_commit_prepare)
		funcs->atomic_commit_prepare(state)
	else
		commit_prepare(state)

	/* the rest of the current function below */
	INIT_WORK(&state->commit_work, commit_work);
	...
}

Drivers that implement atomic_commit_prepare would be expected to call drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit() and drm_atomic_helper_prepare_planes() or their own implementation of them.

The whole construct mimics how commit tails work.
