Subject: [PATCH] drm/ttm: optimize errors checking and free _manager when finishing

In the function ttm_page_alloc_init, kzalloc call is made for variable _manager, we need to check its return value, it may return NULL.

In the function ttm_page_alloc_fini, we need to call kfree for variable _manager, instead of make _manager NULL directly.

Seems we only need above here for this patch I think. 
The rest is no need, because ttm_pool_kobj_release will kfree _manager.


Thanks
