Yes, it most likely fixes the issue. Because in the meantime I've bisected it
to commit 7ca4ece+ ("drm: Rename struct drm_gem_object.vm_obj to filp") which
introduced the bug for me.

I'll recompile the kernel to current master and report back if last
Francois' commit da43775+ (ie. the partial revert of the problem commit)
fixes the leak.

Thank you.
