Subject: drm: remove drm_fb_helper_modinit
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
commit bf22c9ec39da90ce866d5f625d616f28bc733dc1 upstream.
drm_fb_helper_modinit has a lot of boilerplate for what is not very
simple functionality. Just open code it in the only caller using
IS_ENABLED and IS_MODULE, and skip the find_module check as a
request_module is harmless if the module is already loaded (and not
other caller has this find_module check either).
