Apologies for making you jump around all the time and doing different
versions of the same bugfix :-/

I think this one here is ok to merge, I just thought when looking at
the history that we revert the exact patch without any other changes
or comments, and usually that means someone will come up with the same
cleanup idea again, and then we'll have a bug again. So maybe a
comment or a WARN_ON or something else would be good.

I guess we could also do your patch, but put a WARN_ON that the
computed total_size is never bigger than the drm_fb size into
drm_fb_helper_deferred_io()? That would also make sure that this bug
doesn't get resurrected again.
