drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() needs to release the reference held by
plane->fb. Since commit 49d70aea ("drm/atomic-helper: Fix leak in
disable_all") we're doing that by calling drm_atomic_clean_old_fb() in
drm_atomic_helper_disable_all(). This also leaves plane->fb == NULL
afterwards. However, since drm_atomic_helper_disable_all() is also
used by the i915 gpu reset code
drm_atomic_helper_commit_duplicated_state() then has to undo the
damage and put the correct plane->fb pointers back in (and also
adjust the ref counts to match again as well).

That approach doesn't work so well for load detection as nothing
sets up the plane->old_fb pointers for us. This causes us to
leak an extra reference for each plane->fb when
drm_atomic_helper_commit_duplicated_state() calls
drm_atomic_clean_old_fb() after load detection.

To fix this let's call drm_atomic_clean_old_fb() only for
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() as that's the only time we need to
actually drop the plane->fb references. In all the other cases
(load detection, gpu reset) we want to leave plane->fb alone.

v3: Squash in the revert and rewrite the commit msg (Daniel)

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
