This definitely feels like papering over the problem. Why is the modeset
code still calling watermark updates at the wrong time?

With my original two stage wm code most wm updates got kicked off from
the plane commits stage, and the only manual calls were in plaform
specific code just before a new pipe is enabled, or just after one is
disabled. Very little room for these sorts of errors in that scheme.
What we have currently isn't done like that and instead it seems to
me we've somehow sprinkled stuff all over some common codepaths which
apparently leads to these problems.
