drm_framebuffer_remove still has the problem of not working correctly with
atomic since atomic commit will complain if we try to do more than 1
commit per ww_acquire_ctx. I think we still need an atomic version of
this. Also probably a more nasty igt testcase which uses the same fb on
more than one plane to be able to hit this case.

Needs a comment here to explain that we evade EINTR/signals, and that it's
not a trick to hide a locking inversion from lockdep.

Otherwise I think this patch here is the best fix of all the approaches
discussed on irc, under the constraint that we need some obviously
save&small for cc: stable.
