Subject: [PATCH 4.16 059/279] drm/msm: dont deref error pointer in the msm_fbdev_create error path

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

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

From: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov@...labora.com>

[ Upstream commit 789d4c300e10eb2096ee83c3497118e67ccc951e ]

Currently the error pointer returned by msm_alloc_stolen_fb gets passed
to drm_framebuffer_remove. The latter handles only NULL pointers, thus
a nasty crash will occur.

Drop the unnecessary fail label and the associated checks - both err and
fb will be set at this stage.
