It seems to help in my case, although I don't have a real, specific testcase.
At least World of Tanks never deadlocked for me in a couple of hours of play,
while usually it would deadlock multiple times in that timeframe.

Still, this isn't something which can really be "tested" as correct, given the
nature of the issue. I guess https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54671
is the upstream bug?
