Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: fix use-after-free in page_flip_completed()

page_flip_completed() dereferences 'work' variable after executing queue_work(). This is not safe as the 'work' item might be already freed by queued work:

    BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in page_flip_completed+0x3ff/0x490 at addr ffff8803dc010f90

Move queue_work() after trace_i915_flip_complete() to fix this.
