Subject: [ 18/64] drm: correctly restore mappings if drm_open fails

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ilija Hadzic <ihadzic@...earch.bell-labs.com>

commit a8ec3a662921220fc058ed6f7f3674697876d218 upstream.

If first drm_open fails, the error-handling path will
incorrectly restore inode's mapping to NULL. This can
cause the crash later on. Fix by separately storing
away mapping pointers that drm_open can touch and
restore each from its own respective variable if the
call fails.

Fixes: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807850
(thanks to Michal Hocko for investigating investigating and
finding the root cause of the bug)

Reference:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2013-March/036564.html

v2: Use one variable to store file and inode mapping
    since they are the same at the function entry.
    Fix spelling mistakes in commit message.

v3: Add reference to the original bug report.
