drm_get_format_name allocates memory that is not currently free'd
when printing the state. Fix this by kfree'ing the memory after
use.

You are correct, but there are more cases of this, and another fix
has been chosen. See this patch [1] for the fix and the rest of that
thread [2] for the discussion.
I'll send v4 (rebase and a missed `const`) as soon as I have the time,
but the usage will remain the same as in v3.
Cheers,
Eric
