I got a null-ptr-deref report:

[drm:drm_dev_init [drm]] *ERROR* Cannot allocate anonymous inode: -12

If drm_fs_inode_new() fails in drm_dev_init(), dev->anon_inode will point
to PTR_ERR(...) instead of NULL. This will result in null-ptr-deref when
drm_fs_inode_free(dev->anon_inode) is called.

drm_dev_init()
	drm_fs_inode_new() // fail, dev->anon_inode = PTR_ERR(...)
	drm_managed_release()
		drm_dev_init_release()
			drm_fs_inode_free() // access non-existent anon_inode

Define a temp variable and assign it to dev->anon_inode if the temp
variable is not PTR_ERR.
