    drm: make drm_get_format_name thread-safe

    [danvet: Clarify that the returned pointer must be freed with
    kfree().]
    Signed-off-by: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx>

Note (Rob Clark):
I think we need to be a bit careful about follow-up audits of callers of
this..  now that you need to kfree the return value I think it is fairly
easy for new patches to introduce new callers which leak the return
value.  We probably should have left the function as-is and introduce
a new variant, or something like that.

Suggested-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@xxxxxxxxx> (GFP_ATOMIC)
Suggested-by: Ville SyrjÃlà <ville.syrjala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (kasprintf)

I'll send another variant tonight that moves the allocation to the
callers (sounds cleaner to me, although there'll be some code
duplication and more opportunities to make mistakes I guess).
