Subject[PATCH 3.7-rc8] drm: Fix possible EDID memory allocation oops
Date
The result of drm_property_create_blob() is not checked for success
which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference.

I was led to this by a smatch warning:

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_crtc.c:3186 drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property() error: potential null dereference 'connector->edid_blob_ptr'. (drm_property_create_blob returns null)

drm_property_create_blob() calls kzalloc() which can return NULL.

This bug actually exists in the original commit f453ba0460742ad027ae0c4c7d61e62817b3e7ef
(2.6.29), but I only checked as far back as 3.0 for stable.
