drm/fb-helper: defer setup when fbdev_probe() fails, not just on -EAGAIN

Browse source 
__drm_fb_helper_initial_config_and_unlock() calls
drm_client_modeset_probe() first, which already fills in each
mode_set->mode/num_connectors for every connected output, and only
afterwards calls drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe() to create
fb_helper->fb and wire it into those mode_sets via
drm_setup_crtcs_fb().

If drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe() fails with anything other than
-EAGAIN (e.g. dev->driver->fbdev_probe() itself fails), the function
bails out before drm_setup_crtcs_fb() runs and before setting
fb_helper->deferred_setup. The client is left with mode_sets that
have a mode and connectors but mode_set->fb == NULL, and nothing
marks this fb_helper as needing a retry.

__drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked() only skips committing
when fb_helper->deferred_setup is set, so a later .restore() call
(drm_lastclose() on process exit, in this report) commits the stale
mode_set through drm_client_modeset_commit() ->
drm_client_modeset_commit_atomic() -> __drm_atomic_helper_set_config(),
which hits WARN_ON(!set->fb).

Mark fb_helper->deferred_setup on any drm_fb_helper_single_fb_probe()
failure, not just -EAGAIN, so restore keeps skipping the commit until
a later hotplug event successfully re-probes and re-populates
mode_set->fb. The real error code is still returned to the caller
unchanged.
