[ Impact ]
It is possible for the zynqmp gpu drm driver to handle the
`drm_device` in such a way where usespace accesses can lead to UAFs.
To mitigate this error path, we should unplug the device alongside
freeing it.
[ Fix ]
jammy: backported from upstream commit.
[ Tests ]
Compile and boot tested. (+stress-ng cpu,iomix)
[ Where problems could occur ]
This is essentially a one line cherry pick (simply in a different
location than the upstream patch) and so the risk of regression
is very low, especially given the limited scope of changes. (just
zynqmp hardware)
