I've taken a look at the code, and most of the time we set crtc_state->event.
Either through calls like pageflip, or if not set we always allocate one in
drm_atomic_helper_setup_commit() except for legacy cursor updates.

Because of this I think the original patch is fine, and I kind of like
having everything prepared in pipe_update_start, while pipe_update_end
only has to release it.
