If there are pending page flips when the fd gets closed those page
flips may have events associated to them. When the page flip eventually
completes it will queue the event to file_priv->event_list, but that
may be too late and file_priv->event_list has already been cleaned up.
Thus we leak a bit of kernel memory in the form of the event structure.
To avoid such problems clear out such pending events from
intel_crtc->unpin_work at ->preclose(). Any event that already made it
to file_priv->event_list will get cleaned up by the drm_release_events()
a bit later.
We can ignore the file_priv->event_space accounting since file_priv is
going away. This is already how drm core deals with pending vblank
events, which are maintained by the drm core.
What saves us from a total disaster (ie. dereferencing and alrady
freed file_priv) is the fact that the fb descruction triggers a modeset
and there we wait for pending flips.

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.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
