Subject: [PATCH 4.9 48/66] drm/i915: prevent crash with .disable_display parameter

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

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

From: Clint Taylor <clinton.a.taylor@...el.com>

commit 27892bbdc9233f33bf0f44e08aab8f12e0dec142 upstream.

The .disable_display parameter was causing a fatal crash when fbdev
was dereferenced during driver init.

V1: protection in i915_drv.c
V2: Moved protection to intel_fbdev.c

Fixes: 43cee314345a ("drm/i915/fbdev: Limit the global async-domain synchronization")
Testcase: igt/drv_module_reload/basic-no-display
