I think,
if backing->stolen is true then backing is released using
psb_gtt_free_range() but if backing->stolen is false then the gem object
is freed but the backing is not yet freed. To free that backing
psb_gtt_free_range() has been called second time. My patch tried to fix
the possibility of backing->stolen being true and backing being freed 2
times.

regards
sudip
