debug_active_activate() expected ref->count to be zero
which is not true anymore as __i915_active_activate() calls
debug_active_activate() after incrementing the count.

While that's obviously better than never calling debug_active_activate(),
I'm
wondering how likely we can still miss it because the counter being
incremented, e.g. via i915_active_acquire_if_busy(), by a concurrent
thread.
Since __i915_active_activate() is the only user and its decision making
step
is serialized against itself with a spinlock, couldn't we better call
debug_object_activate() unconditionally here?

Yes, we can call debug_object_activate() without checking ref->count.
Also we can remove the ref-count check for

debug_active_deactivate() as this is wrapped with
"atomic_dec_and_lock_irqsave(&ref->count, &ref->tree_lock, flags)".


I think it makes sense to keep this patch as it is so it can be
backported easily. I can add another patch to remove

unnecessary ref->count  checks.
Looking at 5.10, I can't understand how dropping the check instead of
replacing it with a still problematic one could make backporting less easy.


Indeed, I thought 5.10 is pretty far in the past but I was wrong. I can apply the modified patch.

Sent out a v2
