[PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: Stop accessing buffer objects which failed init

From: Zack Rusin <zackr at vmware.com>

ttm_bo_init_reserved on failure puts the buffer object back which
causes it to be deleted, but kfree was still being called on the same
buffer in vmw_bo_create leading to a double free.

After the double free the vmw_gem_object_create_with_handle was
setting the gem function objects before checking the return status
of vmw_bo_create leading to null pointer access.

Fix the entire path by relaying on ttm_bo_init_reserved to delete the
buffer objects on failure and making sure the return status is checked
before setting the gem function objects on the buffer object.
