Subject: [PATCH] drm: re-enable error handling

drm_legacy_ctxbitmap_next() returns idr_alloc() which can return
-ENOMEM, -EINVAL or -ENOSPC none of which are -1 . but the call sites 
of drm_legacy_ctxbitmap_next() seem to be assuming that the error case
would be -1 (original return of drm_ctxbitmap_next() prior to 2.6.23
was actually -1). Thus reenable error handling by checking for < 0.

Fixes: 62968144e673 ("drm: convert drm context code to use Linux idr")

Problem located with experimental coccinelle script

The noted Fixes tag is one of the commits that removed the -1 return
value in 2.6.23 in drm_ctxbitmap_next() but thats not the only change
that must have taken place to invalidate the error check.

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig

Patch is against 4.18-rc4 (localversion-next is next-20180713)
