Move the calls to drm_fb_helper_alloc_info() from drivers into a
single place in fbdev helpers. Allocates struct fb_info for a new
framebuffer device. Then call drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe() to
create an fbdev screen buffer. Also release the instance on errors
by calling drm_fb_helper_release_info().
Simplifies the code and fixes the error cleanup for some of the
drivers.
Regular release of the struct fb_info instance still happens in
drm_fb_helper_fini() as before.
v2:
- remove error rollback in driver implementations (kernel test robot)
- initialize info in TTM implementation (kernel test robot)
