Yongxin Liu b92f12c5ee drm/nouveau: fix memory leak in nouveau_conn_reset()
[ Upstream commit 09b90e2fe35faeace2488234e2a7728f2ea8ba26 ]

In nouveau_conn_reset(), if connector->state is true,
__drm_atomic_helper_connector_destroy_state() will be called,
but the memory pointed by asyc isn't freed. Memory leak happens
in the following function __drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset(),
where newly allocated asyc->state will be assigned to connector->state.

So using nouveau_conn_atomic_destroy_state() instead of
__drm_atomic_helper_connector_destroy_state to free the "old" asyc.

Here the is the log showing memory leak.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
