Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Fix a width / pitch mismatch on framebuffer updates

From: Thomas Hellstrom <[email protected]>

commit a50e2bf5a0f674d62b69f51f6935a30e82bd015c upstream.

When the framebuffer is a vmwgfx dma buffer and a proxy surface is created, the vmw_kms_update_proxy() function requires that the proxy surface width and the framebuffer pitch are compatible, otherwise display corruption occurs as seen in gnome-shell/native with software 3D. Since the framebuffer pitch is determined by user-space, allocate a proxy surface the width of which is based on the framebuffer pitch rather than on the framebuffer width.
