Jani Nikula d0ddfbd3d1 drm/i915/sdvo: clean up connectors on intel_sdvo_init() failures
Any failures in intel_sdvo_init() after the intel_sdvo_setup_output() call
left behind ghost connectors, attached (with a dangling pointer) to the
sdvo that has been cleaned up and freed. Properly destroy any connectors
attached to the encoder.

[danvet: added a comment to explain why we need to clean up connectors
even when sdvo_output_setup fails.]

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
