commit a34a0a632dd991a371fec56431d73279f9c54029 upstream.
drm_dp_mst_allocate_vcpi() invokes
drm_dp_mst_topology_get_port_validated(), which increases the refcount
of the "port".
These reference counting issues take place in two exception handling
paths separately. Either when “slots” is less than 0 or when
drm_dp_init_vcpi() returns a negative value, the function forgets to
reduce the refcnt increased drm_dp_mst_topology_get_port_validated(),
which results in a refcount leak.
Fix these issues by pulling up the error handling when "slots" is less
than 0, and calling drm_dp_mst_topology_put_port() before termination
when drm_dp_init_vcpi() returns a negative value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
