Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau: fix memory leak in nouveau_conn_reset()
Date:   Mon, 1 Jul 2019 09:46:22 +0800

In nouveau_conn_reset(), if connector->state is true,
__drm_atomic_helper_connector_destroy_state() will be called,
but the memory pointed by asyc isn't freed. Memory leak happens
in the following function __drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset(),
where newly allocated asyc->state will be assigned to connector->state.

So using nouveau_conn_atomic_destroy_state() instead of
__drm_atomic_helper_connector_destroy_state to free the "old" asyc.

Here the is the log showing memory leak.
