I'm not sure this is the right approach for vblank.

crtc->state might not be the same as the current state in case of a nonblocking
modeset that hasn't even disabled the old crtc yet.

whatisRCU.txt:
"This function invokes func(head) after a grace period has elapsed.
This invocation might happen from either softirq or process context,
so the function is not permitted to block."

    drm/i915: Move atomic state free from out of fence release

I would say that drm_atomic_state_free would definitely block..

The only thing that makes sense IMO is doing kfree_rcu on the object_states.
But I don't think RCU is the answer here, it won't protect you against using
the wrong crtc state.

I think I would try to use the crtc ww_mutex in the vblank code and serialize it to pending commits, if at all possible.
