We currently do an explicit flush of the buffer pools within the call path of drm_driver.release(); this removes all buffers, regardless of their age, freeing the buffers' associated resources (objects, address space areas). However there is other code that runs within the drm_driver.release() call chain that expects objects and their associated address space areas have already been flushed. Since buffer pools auto-flush old buffers once per second in a worker thread, there's a small window where if we remove the driver while there are still objects in buffers with an age of less than one second, the assumptions of the other release code may be violated. By moving the flush to driver remove (which executes earlier via the pci_driver.remove() flow) we're ensuring that all buffers are flushed and their associated objects freed before some other code in pci_driver.remove() flushes those objects so they are released before _any_ code in drm_driver.release() that check completness of those flushes executes. v2: Reword commit description as suggested by Matt.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
