Commit message is missing the absolutely crucial detail about which patch
introduced this regression:

commit 6d3d8274bc45de4babb62d64562d92af984dd238
Author:     Nick Hoath <nicholas.hoath@intel.com>

    drm/i915: Subsume intel_ctx_submit_request in to drm_i915_gem_request

Another thing I've noticed is that we explicitly drop the context
reference for the request before dropping the request reference. Without
clearing the req->ctx pointer. That has a very high chance to leading to
tears, imo the context unreferenceing should be pushed into
i915_gem_request_free.

Except that it's there already, which means we have a double unref now?

Also this patch is for the legacy ringbuffer code, but the referenced bug
is for gen8+ execlists. We're definitely not running this code here I
think.

Imo step one is to drop all the explicit ctx refcounting for req->ctx and
always rely on the implicit reference. Then see what happens.

Cheers, Daniel
