Subject: [PATCH] qxl: fix null-pointer crash during suspend

"crtc->helper_private" is not initialized by the QXL driver and thus the
"crtc_funcs->disable" call would crash (resulting in suspend failure).
Fix this by converting the suspend/resume functions to use the
drm_mode_config_helper_* helpers.

Tested system sleep with QEMU 3.0 using "echo mem > /sys/power/state".
During suspend the following message is visible from QEMU:

    spice/server/display-channel.c:2425:display_channel_validate_surface: canvas address is 0x7fd05da68308 for 0 (and is NULL)
    spice/server/display-channel.c:2426:display_channel_validate_surface: failed on 0

This seems to be triggered by QXL_IO_NOTIFY_CMD after
QXL_IO_DESTROY_PRIMARY_ASYNC, but aside from the warning things still
seem to work (tested with both the GTK and -spice options).

Hi,

I found this issue while trying to suspend a VM that uses QXL. In order to see
the stack trace over serial, boot with no_console_suspend. Searching for
"qxl_drm_freeze" showed one recent report from Alan:
https://lkml.kernel.org/r/891e334c-cf19-032c-b996-59ac166fcde1@gmail.com

Kind regards,
Peter
