Subject: [PATCH RESEND] drm/ast: free correct pointer in astfb_create() error paths

In the err_free_vram and err_release_fbi error paths in astfb_create(), we
attempt to free afbdev->sysram. The only jumps to these error paths occur
before we assign afbdev->sysram = sysram. Free sysram instead.

Found by Coverity Scan. Compile tested only.

Resending as it looks like this didn't hit dri-devel.
