Does the efifb driver has any way to deallocate the cmap? I don't see
any explicit call to fb_dealloc_cmap() apart from the error handling.
My theory is that the efifb driver gets deregistered via
do_remove_conflicting_framebuffers(). I'm not familiar with this code,
just commenting from a kmemleak perspective.
