Subject: drivers/video/gbefb.c: eliminate memory leak

This code is preceded by a call to framebuffer_alloc, which allocates
memory, so this memory should be freed before leaving the function in an
error case.  out_release_framebuffer just frees the frame buffer and
returns.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r exists@
local idexpression x;
expression E;
identifier f1;
iterator I;
@@

x = framebuffer_alloc(...);
<... when != x
     when != true (x == NULL || ...)
     when != if (...) { <+...x...+> }
     when != I (...) { <+...x...+> }
(
 x == NULL
|
 x == E
|
 x->f1
)
...>
* return ...;
// </smpl>
