Subject: [RFC PATCH] vmwgfx: Fix assignment in vmw_framebuffer_create_handle

The assignment of handle in vmw_framebuffer_create_handle doesn't
actually do anything useful and is incorrectly assigning an integer
value to a pointer argument. It appears that this is a typo and should
be dereferencing handle rather than assigning to it directly.
