Subject: [PATCH V2] drm: handle error values properly

drm_legacy_ctxbitmap_next() returns idr_alloc() which can return
-ENOMEM, -EINVAL or -ENOSPC none of which are -1. since drm_context_t
is an unsigned int an intermediate variable is used to handle the
error cases, and then cast to drm_context_t after ensuring that the
value is >= 0. The explicit cast is to mark the type conversion as
intentional.

commit: d530b5f1ca0bb66958a2b714bebe40a1248b9c15 [2/2] drm: re-enable error
+handling

smatch warnings:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_context.c:375 drm_legacy_addctx() warn: unsigned
+'ctx->handle' is never less than zero.
<snip>

V2: The proposed fix in d530b5f1ca0b ("drm: re-enable error handling")
    actually was ineffective as the negative return value check was 
    against a unsigned int and thus always false as reported by
    kbuild test robot <lkp@...el.com>. The below patch removes that
    warning and fixes the original problem of missed error handling.

drm_context_t is actually just used in a few placed so the type could be
changed but it is also exported via tools/include/uapi/drm/drm.h so
changing the typedef of drm_context_t could break applications and thus
this is not an option.

Patch was compile tested with: x86_64_defconfig

Patch is against 4.18-rc4 (localversion-next is next-20180717)
