Jesse Barnes b1b87f6b65 drm/i915: untangle page flip completion
When a new page flip is requested, we need to both queue an unpin for
the current framebuffer, and also increment the flip pending count on
the newly submitted buffer.

At flip finish time, we need to unpin the old fb and decrement the flip
pending count on the new buffer.

The old code was conflating the two, and led to hangs when new direct
rendered apps were started, replacing the existing frame buffer.  This
patch splits out the buffers and prevents the hangs.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
