Update: I cannot understand why the behavior changed, but I am now
completely unable run OpenGL applications (with either modesetting or
intel X video driver).
Any program that is supposed to display something via OpenGL (such as
GL screensavers from package xscreensaver-gl or even glxgears from
package mesa-utils) simply hangs and displays nothing or a static image.

I tried to boot with a previous kernel:

  $ uname -srvmo
  Linux 4.5.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.5.5-1 (2016-05-29) x86_64 GNU/Linux

and all the issues vanished (no more traces on kern.log, no more OpenGL
application hangs).

Hence, I think it's definitely a Linux kernel bug.
I am consequently reassigning the bug report.

Dear Kernel Team, please investigate this bug and fix it and/or forward
my bug report upstream, as appropriate.

Thanks for your time.
