Details

mesa 12.0.1 was released with a major memory leak
in vdpau code. The fix for this leak inspired
another fix for another leak in dri3 code.

mesa-stable was CC'ed in both commit messages.

I compiled mesa after backporting the fixes. And
verified that they work as intended with no apparent side-effects.
