[PATCH] drm: loongson: Add a check for lsdc_bo_create() errors

Basically everything in this email was wrong to a kind of shocking
degree.  For example, ignoring kmalloc() failure is a bug so the fixes
tag is definitely warranted.  But then you called me "bare brained"
which seems like a personal attack so I'm going to report this as a code
of conduct violation.
