Subject: [PATCH 4.14 17/41] drm/nouveau/bl: Fix oops on driver unbind

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

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

From: Lukas Wunner <lukas@...ner.de>

commit 76f2e2bc627f7d08360ac731b6277d744d4eb599 upstream.

Unbinding nouveau on a dual GPU MacBook Pro oopses because we iterate
over the bl_connectors list in nouveau_backlight_exit() but skipped
initializing it in nouveau_backlight_init().  Stacktrace for posterity:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000010
