I'm not sure this is the right approach for vblank.
crtc->state might not be the same as the current state in case of a nonblocking
modeset that hasn't even disabled the old crtc yet.

whatisRCU.txt:
"This function invokes func(head) after a grace period has elapsed.
This invocation might happen from either softirq or process context,
so the function is not permitted to block."

drm/i915: Move atomic state free from out of fence release
I would say that drm_atomic_state_free would definitely block..
The only thing that makes sense IMO is doing kfree_rcu on the object_states.
But I don't think RCU is the answer here, it won't protect you against using
the wrong crtc state.
I think I would try to use the crtc ww_mutex in the vblank code and serialize
it to pending commits, if at all possible.
