I spent sometime discussing whether or not we could hit a similar bug
with a well placed change of tiling after resume, and the outcome is
that as the fences are reset during freeze then all tiled objects that
had been used for rendering would have been flushed (and their
last_fenced_seqno set to 0).

So this is a new regression caused by the aforementioned patch and this
is the cleanest fix,
