> virtio_gpu_alloc_vbufs() creates a kmem_cache with the fixed name
> "virtio-gpu-vbufs" for every device and destroys it from
> virtio_gpu_release(), which only runs once the last drm_device

> instance an open /dev/fbN), a rescan probes the device again while the
> old cache still exists:

> kmem_cache of name 'virtio-gpu-vbufs' already exists
