[PATCH] drm/i915: Fix failure paths around initial fbdev allocation

Tvrtko Ursulin
2015-06-15T10:50:04Z

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

We had two failure modes here:

1.
Deadlock in intelfb_alloc failure path where it calls drm_framebuffer_remove,
which grabs the struct mutex and intelfb_create (caller of intelfb_alloc) was
already holding it.

2.
Double unreference on the object if __intel_framebuffer_create fails since
both it and the caller (intelfb_alloc) do the unreference.
