This bug is for the unexpected allocation failure inside
drm_modeset_lock_all() (in this case from should_fail). To properly
document this behaviour, we should probably use

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_modeset_lock.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_modeset_lock.c
index e123497da0ca..963e23db0fe7 100644
--- a/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_modeset_lock.c
+++ b/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_modeset_lock.c
@@ -93,7 +93,7 @@ void drm_modeset_lock_all(struct drm_device *dev)
        struct drm_modeset_acquire_ctx *ctx;
        int ret;
 
-       ctx = kzalloc(sizeof(*ctx), GFP_KERNEL);
+       ctx = kzalloc(sizeof(*ctx), GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL);
        if (WARN_ON(!ctx))
                return;

Then it will turn up on somebody'ss too-small-to-fail fix list.
