Hm, that's exactly the sort of things we were trying to be robust
against with the original approach. With this version, we're back to a
situation where

	drm_exec_until_all_locked(exec) {
		for (...) {
			drm_exec_retry_on_contention(exec);
		}
	}

doesn't do what we expect it to do, and that's a use case we want to
support.
