Dave Airlie 29d08b3efd drm/gem: handlecount isn't really a kref so don't make it one.
There were lots of places being inconsistent since handle count
looked like a kref but it really wasn't.

Fix this my just making handle count an atomic on the object,
and have it increase the normal object kref.

Now i915/radeon/nouveau drivers can drop the normal reference on
userspace object creation, and have the handle hold it.

This patch fixes a memory leak or corruption on unload, because
the driver had no way of knowing if a handle had been actually
added for this object, and the fbcon object needed to know this
to clean itself up properly.

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:
