Nouveau - Jul 2019 - [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 37/37] drm/nouveau: fix memory leak in nouveau_conn_reset()

From: Yongxin Liu <yongxin.liu at windriver.com>

[ 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.
