-Subject: i965: Remove early release of DRI2 miptree
-
-intel_update_winsys_renderbuffer_miptree() will release the existing
-miptree when wrapping a new DRI2 buffer, so we can remove the early
-release and so prevent a NULL mt dereference should importing the new
-DRI2 name fail for any reason. (Reusing the old DRI2 name will result
-in the rendering going astray, to a stale buffer, and not shown on the
-screen, but it allows us to issue a warning and not crash much later in
-innocent code.)
