Subject: [PATCH 4.19 023/276] udlfb: fix some inconsistent NULL checking

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit c143a559b073aeea688b9bb7c5b46f3cf322d569 upstream.

In the current kernel, then kzalloc() can't fail for small allocations,
but if it did fail then we would have a NULL dereference in the error
handling.  Also in dlfb_usb_disconnect() if "info" were NULL then it
would cause an Oops inside the unregister_framebuffer() function but it
can't be NULL so let's remove that check.

Fixes: 68a958a915ca ("udlfb: handle unplug properly")
