You were fortunate, as the bug in all its guises is much older indeed.
The final fix, I hope, was:

    drm: Don't switch fb when disabling an output
    
    In drm_crtc_helper_set_config, we call drm_crtc_helper_set_mode which
    may return early and do no operation if the crtc is to be disabled. In
    this case we merrily swap to the new fb, discarding the old_fb believing
    that it has been cleaned up. However, due to the early return, the
    old_fb was not presented to the backend for correct reaping, and nor was
    the new one - which is about to be reaped via the
    drm_helper_disable_unused_functions(), leading to incorrect refcounting
    of the pinned objects.
