drm: Get ref on CRTC commit object when waiting for flip_done
This fixes a general protection fault, caused by accessing the contents
of a flip_done completion object that has already been freed. It occurs
due to the preemption of a non-blocking commit worker thread W by
another commit thread X. X continues to clear its atomic state at the
end, destroying the CRTC commit object that W still needs. Switching
back to W and accessing the commit objects then leads to bad results.
Worker W becomes preemptable when waiting for flip_done to complete. At
this point, a frequently occurring commit thread X can take over. Here's
an example where W is a worker thread that flips on both CRTCs, and X
does a legacy cursor update on both CRTCs:
...
1. W does flip work
2. W runs commit_hw_done()
3. W waits for flip_done on CRTC 1
4. > flip_done for CRTC 1 completes
5. W finishes waiting for CRTC 1
6. W waits for flip_done on CRTC 2
7. > Preempted by X
8. > flip_done for CRTC 2 completes
9. X atomic_check: hw_done and flip_done are complete on all CRTCs
10. X updates cursor on both CRTCs
11. X destroys atomic state
12. X done
13. > Switch back to W
14. W waits for flip_done on CRTC 2
15. W raises general protection fault
The error looks like so:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI

Note that i915 has this issue masked, since hw_done is signaled after
waiting for flip_done. Doing so will block the cursor update from
happening until hw_done is signaled, preventing the cursor commit from
destroying the state.
v2: The reference on the commit object needs to be obtained before
hw_done() is signaled, since that's the point where another commit
is allowed to modify the state. Assuming that the
new_crtc_state->commit object still exists within flip_done() is
incorrect.
Fix by getting a reference in setup_commit(), and releasing it
during default_clear().
