In previous drm_global_item_ref, there are two times of writing
ref->object if item->refcount is 0. So this patch does a minor update
to put alloc and init ref firstly, and then to modify the item of glob
array. Use "else" to avoid two times of writing ref->object. It can
make the code logic more clearly.

Changes from V1 -> V2:
- Add kfree exceptional handle to avoid memory leak.
- Improve code style.

Well when you update your patch, even when it's just fixing a small 
typo, please increase the version number.

That makes it much easier to track the different instances of a patch.

A few additional notes below.

A goto in the not error path is a bit unusual. Since out_err is only 
used once couldn't you just move the code into the if and then goto to 
out as well?

Alternative you could just duplicate the mutex release in the non-error 
path.

Christian.

Actually, I also have a little concern with "goto" in non-error path. But
as Sean's suggestion, use "goto" can avoid a duplicate mutex release, you
know.

@Sean, if you don't have concern with adding a mutex release below, I will
update it in V3.

---
        ++item->refcount;
        mutex_unlock(&item->mutex);
        return 0;

out_err:
        kfree(ref->object);
        ref->object = NULL;
out:
        mutex_unlock(&item->mutex);
        return ret;

I would certainly prefer the duplicate mutex release.

BTW: I would name those labels error_free and error_unlock to make clear 
that they are for error handling and what they are supposed to do.

OK, will rename the label in V3.
