Should this also be applied to any older stable branches?

i915_kick_out_firmware_fb() was introduced in 3.6 and it has always been
possible for the alloc_apertures() call to fail.

remove_conflicting_framebuffers() has returned an error code since 3.14
(but could silently fail before then!) so this should be applicable to
the 3.14 stable branch too.

One of the nice things about standards is that there are so many of them.
