From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> In the case where state cannot be allocated, the current exit path via label 'out' will dereference the null state pointer when calling drm_atomic_state_put. Fix this by adding a new error exit label and jumping to this to avoid the drm_atomic_state_put.
