Subject: drm/vmwgfx: Handle vmalloc() failure in vmw_local_fifo_reserve()

From: Dan Carpenter <[email protected]>

commit f0c62e9878024300319ba2438adc7b06c6b9c448 upstream.

If vmalloc() fails then we need to a bit of cleanup before returning.

Fixes fb1d9738ca05 ("drm/vmwgfx: Add DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU")
