I might fumble a lot, but not this one:
commit 45c3d213a400c952ab7119f394c5293bb6877e6b
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx>

drm: Nerf the preclose callback for modern drivers
Also looking at the debugfs hook that has some rather adventurous
stuff going on I think, feels a bit like a kitchensink with batteries
included. If that's really all needed I'd say iterate the contexts by
first going over files, then the ctx (which arent shared anyway) and
the problem should also be gone.
