There are some special handling of the stolen framebuffer that I don't
remember entirely but the basic concept is that we free the backing
when we drop the last reference on a gem object. That will trigger a
psb_gtt_free_range(). So in this case it looks to me that the extra
free is not needed at all. That's my quick reasoning, feel free to
prove me wrong :)

Thanks
Patrik
