Subject: [PATCH] drm/gma500: fix memory leak on edid

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

edid is allocated on the call to psb_intel_sdvo_get_edid but not
kfree'd at all, causing a memory leak.  Fix this by kfree'ing
the edid.  (This may be null, but kfree can handle null frees).

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1090730 ("Resource Leak")

Fixes: 5736995b473b ("gma500: Replace SDVO code with slightly modified version from i915")
