We are clearing fbc->busy_bits -> I.e. if(!fbc->busy_bits) is always
taken :

Post plane update is called at the end of the flip. If you consider
case where busy_bits != 0 at this point: it means someone have
initiated frontbuffer write (invalidate) which is not yet completed
(flush from workqueue). That flush pending in workqueue is not valid
anymore as there was a flip and the buffer which was frontbuffer is not
a frontbuffer anymore. Even if the same buffer would be used when doing
a flip the atomic commit would take care of flushing the buffer towards
fbc. Also waiting for dma fences is take caren by the atomic commit
code.
