drm/i915: Fix failure paths around initial fbdev allocation

We had two failure modes here:

1.
Deadlock in intelfb_alloc failure path where it calls
drm_framebuffer_remove, which grabs the struct mutex and intelfb_create
(caller of intelfb_alloc) was already holding it.

2.
Deadlock in intelfb_create failure path where it calls
drm_framebuffer_unreference, which grabs the struct mutex and
intelfb_create was already holding it.

[Daniel Vetter on why struct_mutex needs to be locked in the second half
of intelfb_create: "The vma [for the fbdev] is pinned, the problem is
that we re-lookup it a few times, which is racy. We should instead track
the vma directly, but oh well we don't."]

v2:
   * Reformat commit msg to 72 chars. (Lukas Wunner)
   * Add third failure mode. (Lukas Wunner)

v5:
   * Rebase on drm-intel-nightly 2015y-09m-01d-09h-06m-08s UTC,
     rephrase commit message. (Jani Nicula)

v6:
   * In intelfb_alloc, if __intel_framebuffer_create failed,
     fb will be an ERR_PTR, thus not null. So in the failure
     path we need to check for IS_ERR_OR_NULL to avoid calling
     drm_framebuffer_remove on the ERR_PTR. (Lukas Wunner)
   * Since this is init code a drm_framebuffer_unreference should
     be all we need. drm_framebuffer_remove is for framebuffers
     that userspace has created - and is getting somewhat
     defeatured. (Daniel Vetter)

v7:
   * Clarify why struct_mutex needs to be locked in the second half
     of intelfb_create. (Daniel Vetter)
