Reportedly caused by:

commit 52440211dcdc52c0b757f8b34d122e11b12cdd50

   drm: move drm vblank initialization/cleanup to driver load/unload

   drm vblank initialization keeps track of the changes in driver-supplied
   frame counts across vt switch and mode setting, but only if you let it by
   not tearing down the drm vblank structure.
