drm/i915: On fb alloc failure, unref gem object where it gets refed

Currently when allocating a framebuffer fails, the gem object gets
unrefed at the bottom of the call stack in __intel_framebuffer_create,
not where it gets refed, which is in intel_framebuffer_create_for_mode
(via i915_gem_alloc_object) and in intel_user_framebuffer_create
(via drm_gem_object_lookup).

This invites mistakes: __intel_framebuffer_create is also called from
intelfb_alloc, and as discovered by Tvrtko Ursulin, a double unref
was introduced there with a8bb6818270c ("drm/i915: Fix error path leak
in fbdev fb allocation").

As suggested by Ville Syrjälä, fix the double unref and improve code
clarity by moving the unref away from __intel_framebuffer_create to
where the gem object gets refed.

Based on Tvrtko Ursulin's original v2.

v3: On fb alloc failure, unref gem object where it gets refed,
    fix double unref in separate commit (Ville Syrjälä)

v4: Lock struct_mutex on unref (Chris Wilson)

v5: Rebase on drm-intel-nightly 2015y-09m-01d-09h-06m-08s UTC,
    rephrase commit message (Jani Nicula)
