A use-after-free bug may occur if init_imstt invokes framebuffer_release and free the info ptr. The caller, imsttfb_probe didn't notice that and still keeps the ptr as private data in pdev. If we remove the driver which will call imsttfb_remove to make cleanup, UAF happens. Fix it by return error code if bad case happens in init_imstt.
