[PATCH] drm/vkms: call drm_atomic_helper_shutdown before drm_dev_put()

commit 73a82b22963d ("drm/atomic: Fix potential use-after-free
in nonblocking commits") introduced drm_dev_get/put() to
drm_atomic_helper_shutdown(). And this cause problem in vkms driver exit
process.

vkms_exit()
  drm_dev_put()
    vkms_release()
      drm_atomic_helper_shutdown()
        drm_dev_get()
        drm_dev_put()
          vkms_release()    ------ null pointer access

Using 4.19 stable x86 image on qemu, below stacktrace can be triggered by
load and unload vkms.ko.

It seems that the proper unload sequence is:
	drm_atomic_helper_shutdown();
	drm_dev_put();

Just put drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() before drm_dev_put()
should solve the problem.
