According to comment #23 of the 2nd link above (
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87819#c23 ),

"Module nouveau from linux-3.19.1 seems to fix the bug"

So, it may be worthwhile for you to test-install ELRepo's kernel-ml
which is at version 4.8.4.

However, a better solution could be to use ELRepo's Nvidia driver.
