Subject: drm/client: Fix memory leak in drm_client_modeset_probe
From: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2329cc7a101af1a844fbf706c0724c0baea38365 upstream.
When a new mode is set to modeset->mode, the previous mode should be freed.
This fixes the following kmemleak report:
drm_mode_duplicate+0x45/0x220 [drm]
drm_client_modeset_probe+0x944/0xf50 [drm]
__drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock+0xb4/0x2c0 [drm_kms_helper]
