Commit d258d00fb9c7 ("fbdev: efifb: Cleanup fb_info in .fb_destroy rather
than .remove") attempted to fix a use-after-free error due driver freeing
the fb_info in the .remove handler instead of doing it in .fb_destroy.

But ironically that change introduced yet another use-after-free since the
fb_info was still used after the free.

This should fix for good by freeing the fb_info at the end of the handler.

Fixes: d258d00fb9c7 ("fbdev: efifb: Cleanup fb_info in .fb_destroy rather than .remove")
are these patches going through any CI before being applied? Maybe would
be a good idea to cc intel-gfx mailing list on these fixes to have Intel
CI to pick them up for some tests?

pushed to drm-misc-fixes where the previous patch was applied.

thanks
