[PATCH v2] drm/shmem: Cleanup drm_gem_shmem_create_with_handle()

[PATCH v2] drm/shmem: Cleanup drm_gem_shmem_create_with_handle()

[Rob Clark]

From: Rob Clark <robdclark@chromium.org>

Once we create the handle, the handle owns the reference.  Currently
nothing was doing anything with the shmem ptr after the handle was
created, but let's change drm_gem_shmem_create_with_handle() to not
return the pointer, so-as to not encourage problematic use of this
function in the future.  As a bonus, it makes the code a bit cleaner.

Nice cleanup, one comment below:

shmem is now unused in this function so the definition needs removing too.
