[PATCH 4/6] fbdev: udlfb: check for fb_deferred_io_init() error

[Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)]

fb_deferred_io_init() allocates deferred I/O state, populating
info->fbdefio_state, or leaving it NULL if an error occurs.

Currently dlfb_ops_open() ignores its return value.

Therefore if an error arises in fb_deferred_io_init() (for instance, due to
an allocation failure) info->fbdefio_state is left NULL.

fb_open() will then dereference a NULL pointer (calling
fb_deferred_io_open()) as soon as dlfb_ops_open() returns.

Additionally, if the allocation of info->fbdefio itself fails,
dlfb_ops_open() sets info->fbdefio to NULL and invokes
fb_deferred_io_init() regardless, hitting BUG_ON(!fbdefio).

Fix this by only invoking fb_deferred_io_init() if the allocation
succeeded, and checking for the error.

The driver already supports operating without deferred I/O, so in either
case fall back to that by setting info->fbdefio to NULL.

The ignored return value was introduced in commit 56c134f7f1b5 ("fbdev:
Track deferred-I/O pages in pageref struct").

However, the BUG_ON() issue originates from the earlier
commit 5bea1fbf9423 ("staging: udlfb: fix incorrect fb_defio
implementation for multiple framebuffers"), so target that for the fix.
