Given that the core drm_mode_dumb_create doesn't check anything, I guess
not. Would be good to add.

Well we do tell userspace up to what limit we expect it to succeed, and
dumb_create is supposed to come up with the correct stride. I think
there's no good reason to give userspace a stride that doesn't work at
all, and it's essentially this patch, but with a slightly different if
condition.
