Why? Like apparently there's not enough provided by that right now, so
Matt is now papering over that gap with more book-keeping in the next
layer. If the layer is not doing a good job it's either the wrong layer,
or shouldn't be a layer.

And yeah the locking looks like serious amounts of overkill, was it
benchmarked that we need the 3 separate locks for this?

While reading ctb code I also noticed that a bunch of stuff is checked
before we grab the relevant spinlocks, and it's not
- wrapped in a WARN_ON or GEM_BUG_ON or similar to just check everything
  works as expected
- there's no other locks

So either racy, buggy or playing some extremely clever tricks. None of
which is very good.
