Problem: do_unregister_framebuffer() might return before the device is fully cleaned up, due to userspace having a file handle for /dev/fb0 open. Which can result in drm driver not being able to grab resources (and fail initialization) because the firmware framebuffer still holds them. Reportedly plymouth can trigger this.
Fix this by trying to wait until all references are gone. Don't wait forever though given that userspace might keep the file handle open.
