[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] video/fb: Propagate error code from failing to unregister conflicting fb

[Jiri Slaby]

From: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 46eeb2c144956e88197439b5ee5cf221a91b0a81 upstream.

If we fail to remove a conflicting fb driver, we need to abort the
loading of the second driver to avoid likely kernel panics.
