[xserver-xorg-video-intel] Broken display updates



Hi,

the update to 2:2.99.917+git20160706-1~bpo8+1 breaks my graphics
(lspci says: Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Controller).
Screen updates (for example in xfce terminal) will sometimes leave
the display in a flickering state, as if one of two buffers had
not been updated.  The problem is more likely to surface in
multi-display configurations.  By bisection, I suspect the breaking
upstream commit to be bc369bbf4aed9df3c802bf8759bbdcdd1232f893.

Interestingly, the most recent Git snapshot from upstream does
not have this bug, so maybe just refreshing the package is the
way to go.  (I didn't check which commit fixed it.)

Cheers,
  Sebastian
