Yeah the drmm_ versions of these need to check that the ->cleanup hook is
NULL.
Also there's not actually a double-free, since drm_foo_cleanup removes it
from the lists, which means drm_mode_config_cleanup won't even see it. But
if the driver has some additional code in ->cleanup that won't ever run,
so probably still a bug.
I also think that the drmm_foo_ wrappers should also do the allocation
(and upcasting) kinda like drmm_dev_alloc(). Otherwise we're still stuck
with tons of boilerplate.
For now I think it's ok if drivers that switch to drmm_ just copypaste,
until we're sure this is the right thing to do. And then maybe also roll
these out for all objects that stay for the entire lifetime of drm_device
(plane, crtc, encoder, plus variants). Just to make sure we're consistent
across all of them.
