Subject: drm/atomic: If the atomic check fails, return its value first

From: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankhorst@linux.intel.com>

commit a0ffc51e20e90e0c1c2491de2b4b03f48b6caaba upstream.

The last part of drm_atomic_check_only is testing whether we need to
fail with -EINVAL when modeset is not allowed, but forgets to return
the value when atomic_check() fails first.

This results in -EDEADLK being replaced by -EINVAL, and the sanity
check in drm_modeset_drop_locks kicks in:

Solve this by adding the missing return.

This is also a bugfix because we could end up rejecting updates with
-EINVAL because of a early -EDEADLK, while if atomic_check ran to
completion it might have downgraded the modeset to a fastset.
