Yes, by default unbind while userspace is running is totally broken in
drm. drm_unplug_dev would be the fix, but it's only used by udl and
not many use that. You might need to fix infrastructure up a bit.

For normal module unload the module reference will prevent unloading.
So why exactly do you care about the unbind use-case?
