Chris Wilson 9908ff736a drm/i915: Kill dangerous pending-flip debugging
We can, by virtue of a vblank interrupt firing in the middle of setting
up the unpin work (i.e. after we set the unpin_work field and before we
write to the ringbuffer) enter intel_finish_page_flip() prior to
receiving the pending flip notification. Therefore we can expect to hit
intel_finish_page_flip() under normal circumstances without a pending flip
and even without installing the pending_flip_obj. This is exacerbated by
aperture thrashing whilst binding the framebuffer
