Subject: [PATCH] video: imsttfb: Fix use after free bug in imsttfb_probe due  to lack of error-handling of init_imstt

A use-after-free bug may occur if init_imstt invokes framebuffer_release
and free the info ptr. The caller, imsttfb_probe didn't notice that and
still keeps the ptr as private data in pdev.

If we remove the driver which will call imsttfb_remove to make cleanup,
UAF happens.

Fix it by return error code if bad case happens in init_imstt.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
