Public bug reported:
[Impact]
On dual GFX systems, if amdgpu fails to probe a device, vgaarb for
another GFX triggers a NULL pointer dereference and freeze the system.
[Fix]
Defer VGA client registering so resources are handled properly when
amdgpu probe fails.
[Test]
With the patch applied, no more kernel panic when vgaarb is changing the
VGA mode.
[Where problems could occur]
VGA clients won't take effect until a successful probe, so unless there
is very subtle bug in vgaarb or vgaswitcheroo, it's very unlikely to
introduce any regression.
