commit cac5fcedaabdadf150c8a9be9fee76defc8ba444 upstream.

drm_property_lookup_blob() returns a reference to the returned blob, and
drm_atomic_replace_property_blob() takes a references to the blob it
stores, so afterwards we are left owning a reference to the new_blob that
we never release, and thus leak memory every time we update a property
such as during drm_atomic_helper_legacy_gamma_set().

v2: update credentials, drm_property_unreference_blob() is NULL safe and
NULL is passed consistently to it throughout drm_atomic.c so do so here.
