Currently the DRM fbcon helper for console blank,
drm_fb_helper_blank(), simply calls drm_fb_helper_dpms() and always
returns zero, supposing the driver dealing with DPMS properly for
blanking the screen. However, it turned out that the console blank
doesn't work at all on KVM/QEMU when DRM driver is used: most of the
relevant drivers (bochs, qxl, and virtio) just ignore DPMS, and even
cirrus driver doesn't work because the DPMS register bits the driver
fiddles with are also ignored by KVM/QEMU.
A simple fix for this problem would be not to rely on DPMS but let
fbcon performs the generic blank code. This can be achieved just by
returning an error from drm_fb_helper_blank().
In this patch, we change the drm_fb_helper_dpms() to give back an
error code returned from the connector dpms callback, so that the
error is propagated to drm_fb_helper_blank(). After this change, each
driver needs just to return an error to fall back to the generic fbcon
blank mode.
