[PATCH] drm/plane: fix error handling in __drm_universal_plane_init

__drm_universal_plane_init() frees plane->format_types and
plane->modifiers on failure. However, sometimes its callers
will free these two pointers again, which may lead to a
double-free. One possible call chain is:

mdp5_plane_init
  |-> drm_universal_plane_init
  |     |-> __drm_universal_plane_init (first free)
  |
  |-> mdp5_plane_destroy
        |-> drm_plane_cleanup (second free)

Fix this by setting the two pointers to NULL after kfree.
