Summary
drm/nouveau/disp: fix use-after-free in error handling of nouveau_connector_create
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/nouveau/disp: fix use-after-free in error handling of nouveauconnectorcreate

We can't simply free the connector after calling drmconnectorinit on it. We need to clean up the drm side first.

It might not fix all regressions from commit 2b5d1c29f6c4 ("drm/nouveau/disp: PIOR DP uses GPIO for HPD, not PMGR AUX interrupts"), but at least it fixes a memory corruption in error handling related to that commit.
