This feels like duct-tape. The problem is that when we unplug a drm
device, we don't properly clean this up. I think we should first clean up
all the drm files (and make sure all ioctl and anything else completed),
before we proceed further in the driver cleanup.

Like I said, fixing unplug is going to be serious amounts of work, not
sure you really want to do this just for a  pure debug use-cases.
