drm/msm: clean event_thread->worker in case of an error
[ Upstream commit c79bb6b92defdcb834ceeeed9c1cf591beb1b71a ]
If worker creation fails, nullify the event_thread->worker, so that
msm_drm_uninit() doesn't try accessing invalid memory location. While we
are at it, remove duplicate assignment to the ret variable.
Fixes: 1041dee2178f ("drm/msm: use kthread_create_worker instead of kthread_run")
