Style nit for the future, for clarity I'd label this err:, since this path
is only taken for failures, and not to do cleanup for all cases.

Aside from that, I think your v1 was correct, vkms_crtc_init only sets up
the crtc, it doesn't allocate the cursor/planes. That's done from
vkms_output_init, which already has the cleanup code to handle this case.
