gma500: remove double free in psbfb_create

gma500: remove double free in psbfb_create

[Dave Jones]

This code appears to be calling psb_gtt_free_range twice with the same args.
(The second call didn't appear in the diff output, it's right after the mutex_unlock)

Spotted with Coverity, not tested due to lack of hardware.

Hi Dave, thanks for the patch.

This part of the code is a ref count disaster and probably needs to be
reworked anyways. It would be nice to always let drm_gem_object_unreference()
do the final cleanup call to psb_gtt_free_range() but stolen memory is treated
as an exception in some cases. Also we don't seem to take down the framebuffer
correctly on failure after drm_framebuffer_init() which seems scary.
psb_framebuffer_init() calls drm_framebuffer_init() which clearly states that
we need to be done with the setup and stop failing at this point.

Also, we always get a stolen memory backed object (we're even lowering the
depth to make sure we get one) so the drm_gem_object_unreference() is a NOP.

Anyways, your patch looks good but I would like to look at this some more since
it seems broken anyways.
