drm/omap: Take a fb reference in omap_plane_update()
When userspace calls SET_PLANE ioctl, drm core takes a reference of the fb and passes control to the update_plane op defined by the drm driver. In omapdrm, we have a worker thread which queues framebuffers objects received from update_plane and displays them at the appropriate time. It is possible that the framebuffer is destoryed by userspace between the time of calling the ioctl and apply-worker being scheduled. If this happens, the apply-worker holds a pointer to a framebuffer which is already destroyed. Take an extra refernece/unreference of the fb in omap_plane_update() to prevent this from happening. A reference is taken of the fb passed to update_plane(), the previous framebuffer (held by plane->fb) is unreferenced. This will prevent drm from destroying the framebuffer till the time it's unreferenced by the apply-worker. This is in addition to the exisitng reference/unreference in update_pin(), which is taken for the scanout of the plane's current framebuffer, and an unreference the previous framebuffer.
