[PATCH] video: goldfishfb: fix memory leak on driver remove

From: Anton Vasilyev <hidden>
Date: 2018-07-06 12:05:04

goldfish_fb_probe() allocates memory for fb, but goldfish_fb_remove() does
not have deallocation of fb, which leads to memory leak on probe/remove.

The patch adds deallocation into goldfish_fb_remove().
