Subject: [PATCH] drm/vmwgfx:fix refcount leak in vmw_kms_fb_create()

This issue happens in one error path of vmw_kms_fb_create(). The
function forgets to decrement the refcount of a ttm_base_object obj,
which is increased by vmw_user_lookup_handle() earlier, when
vmw_user_lookup_handle() returns 0 but vfb is not yet created. This
may incur reference count leak.

Fix it by decrement reference count in that error path instead of
assigning the obj to vfb->user_obj.
