In i915_exit(), we check i915_pci_driver.driver.owner to detect if
i915_init exited early and don't tear anything down.  However, we didn't
have proper tear-down paths for early exits in i915_init().

Most of the time, you would never notice this as driver init failures
are extremely rare and generally the sign of a bigger bug.  However,
when the mock self-tests are run, they run as part of i915_init() and
exit early once they complete.  They run after i915_globals_init() and
before we set up anything else.  The IGT test then unloads the module,
invoking i915_exit() which, thanks to our i915_pci_driver.driver.owner
check, doesn't actually tear anything down.  Importantly, this means
i915_globals_exit() never gets called even though i915_globals_init()
was and we leak the globals.

The most annoying part is that you don't actually notice the failure as
part of the self-tests since leaking a bit of memory, while bad, doesn't
result in anything observable from userspace.  Instead, the next time we
load the driver (usually for next IGT test), i915_globals_init() gets
invoked again, we go to allocate a bunch of new memory slabs, those
implicitly create debugfs entries, and debugfs warns that we're trying
to create directories and files that already exist.  Since this all
happens as part of the next driver load, it shows up in the dmesg-warn
of whatever IGT test ran after the mock selftests.

My idea was to onion-unwind in i915_exit, but that means we need to
carry state over or have checks for every step, which is a bit
annoying.

Yours unwinds even if i915_init returns 0, i.e. success, if we had
some selftests, which is most unusual and I think deserves an
explainer here in the commit message and maybe somewhere in the code.

Setting this seems redundant? Or if you want to make it explicit, just
have a dedicated bool with a big comment explaining that only when we
load the full pci driver do we tear down stuff in i915_exit. You could
then set after pci_register_driver was successful. Some screaming name
like driver_fully_loaded or something like that ...

Imo move this up, but if you want I can send out my diff so you score
an r-b: tag :-)

We unwind even on success, which is most unusual. I think that
deserves a comment.
