Subject: drm: qxl: Don't alloc fbdev if emulation is not supported

From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@collabora.co.uk>


[ Upstream commit 861078381ba56b56808113736000d9e7ead349c8 ]

If fbdev emulation is disabled, the QXL shutdown path will try to clean
a framebuffer that wasn't initialized, hitting the Oops below.  The
problem is that even when FBDEV_EMULATION is disabled we allocate the
qfbdev strutucture, but we don't initialize it.  The fix is to stop
allocating the memory, since it won't be used.  This allows the existing
verification in the cleanup hook to do it's job preventing the oops.

Now that we don't allocate the unused fbdev structure, we need to be
careful when dereferencing it in the PM suspend hook.
