[PATCH 3/6] drm/i915: Always call i915_globals_exit() from i915_exit()

[Jason Ekstrand]

If the driver was not fully loaded, we may still have globals lying
around.  If we don't tear those down in i915_exit(), we'll leak a bunch
of memory slabs.  This can happen two ways: use_kms = false and if we've
run mock selftests.  In either case, we have an early exit from
i915_init which happens after i915_globals_init() and we need to clean
up those globals.  While we're here, add an explicit boolean instead of
using a random field from i915_pci_device to detect partial loads.

The mock selftests case gets especially sticky.  The load isn't entirely
a no-op.  We actually do quite a bit inside those selftests including
allocating a bunch of mock objects and running tests on them.  Once all
those tests are complete, we exit early from i915_init().  Perviously,
i915_init() would return a non-zero error code on failure and a zero
error code on success.  In the success case, we would get to i915_exit()
and check i915_pci_driver.driver.owner to detect if i915_init exited early
and do nothing.  In the failure case, we would fail i915_init() but
there would be no opportunity to clean up globals.

The most annoying part is that you don't actually notice the failure as
part of the self-tests since leaking a bit of memory, while bad, doesn't
result in anything observable from userspace.  Instead, the next time we
load the driver (usually for next IGT test), i915_globals_init() gets
invoked again, we go to allocate a bunch of new memory slabs, those
implicitly create debugfs entries, and debugfs warns that we're trying
to create directories and files that already exist.  Since this all
happens as part of the next driver load, it shows up in the dmesg-warn
of whatever IGT test ran after the mock selftests.

While the obvious thing to do here might be to call i915_globals_exit()
after selftests, that's not actually safe.  The dma-buf selftests call
i915_gem_prime_export which creates a file.  We call dma_buf_put() on
the resulting dmabuf which calls fput() on the file.  However, fput()
isn't immediate and gets flushed right before syscall returns.  This
means that all the fput()s from the selftests don't happen until right
before the module load syscall used to fire off the selftests returns
which is after i915_init().  If we call i915_globals_exit() in
i915_init() after selftests, we end up freeing slabs out from under
objects which won't get released until fput() is flushed at the end of
the module load.

The solution here is to let i915_init() return success early and detect
the early success in i915_exit() and only tear down globals and nothing
else.  This way the module loads successfully, regardless of the success
or failure of the tests.  Because we've not enumerated any PCI devices,
no device nodes are created and it's entirely useless from userspace.
The only thing the module does at that point is hold on to a bit of
memory until we unload it and i915_exit() is called.  Importantly, this
means that everything from our selftests has the ability to properly
flush out between i915_init() and i915_exit() because there are a couple
syscall boundaries in between.
