[PATCH]video:uvesafb: Fix dereference NULL pointer code path

From: Wang YanQing <udknight@gmail.com>

Also in: lkml
Subsystem: framebuffer layer, the rest · Maintainers: Helge Deller, Linus Torvalds

platform_device_alloc could failed and return NULL,
we should check this before call platform_device_put.
