[PATCH 0/6] fbdev: fixup callers which ignore errors from fb_deferred_io_init()

[Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)]

Commit 56c134f7f1b5 ("fbdev: Track deferred-I/O pages in pageref struct")
converted fb_deferred_io_init() from a void function to one returning an
error value.

However a number of callers don't seem to have been apprised of the fact
and continue to treat it like a void function.

This is problematic, as upon allocation failure, struct
fb_info->fbdefio_state is NULL.

That means when a subsequent operation is performed upon the driver, for
instance opening the file, a NULL pointer dereference occurs.

Update all of the remaining drivers which fail to check this to do so.

This issue was discovered as part of a separate series which updated logic
belonging to ssd1307fb.

Also fix up a separate issue with a BUG_ON() occurring on allocation
failure for udlfb and smcufx.
