Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Make sure backup_handle is always valid

From: Sinclair Yeh <syeh@vmware.com>

commit 07678eca2cf9c9a18584e546c2b2a0d0c9a3150c upstream.

When vmw_gb_surface_define_ioctl() is called with an existing buffer,
we end up returning an uninitialized variable in the backup_handle.

The fix is to first initialize backup_handle to 0 just to be sure, and
second, when a user-provided buffer is found, we will use the
req->buffer_handle as the backup_handle.
