Agree - there shouldn't be anything scary happening here. The new VRAM
is allocated from buddy which doesn't have dma-resv attached to it (and
thus no outstanding fences) and creating a new dma-resv object. A clear
is issued and then we do an immediate copy but those operations are
serialized on the same queue.
