Fix for issue (1), singlesample_mt use after free

In src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/intel_mipmap_tree.c intel_update_winsys_renderbuffer_miptree() the intel_miptree_create_for_renderbuffer() call can fail and the function is prepared for it.

However, there are several issues with the error handling:

(1) On failure exit from intel_update_winsys_renderbuffer_miptree(), the singlesample_mt received via parameter remains assigned to irb->singlesample_mt. However, in both callsites (brw_context.c intel_process_dri2_buffer() and intel_update_image_buffer()) the miptree is released on failure. This will lead to use-after-free and undefined behavior, including crashes.

Either singlesample_mt should be NULLed or it should not be freed by caller.
I have no idea which one would be correct, but I've attached a patch that does the former that seems to fix the use-after-free issues.


(2) On failure exit from intel_update_winsys_renderbuffer_miptree(), irb->mt remains NULL. However, many functions seem to assume that irb->mt is non-null:

 (I) do_single_blorp_clear()
 (II) brw_postdraw_set_buffers_need_resolve()
 (III) update_renderbuffer_surfaces()
 
There are probably more, but those are the ones I saw crashes in with the test code.

An example callpath for (I) above is:

brw_clear()
  => intel_prepare_render()
    => intel_update_renderbuffers()
      => intel_process_dri2_buffer()
        => intel_update_winsys_renderbuffer_miptree()
           => fails, irb->mt = NULL
  => brw_blorp_clear_color()
    => do_single_blorp_clear()
      => dereferences irb->mt, segfault

Attached is a hack patch that adds NULL checks to some places, but I imagine a better way would be to somehow remove the renderbuffer altogether or something to avoid having to add mt NULL checks everywhere...


I will open a separate issue for the failure in intel_miptree_create_for_renderbuffer() that triggers this, but I think the error handling should be fixed regardless of the failure reason - at least so that there are no crashes.

I've attached the test application I used as mesa-issue-qt3d.cc. With the patches I still don't see correct graphical output with it (I see the red line as expected but the picture flashes rapidly), but I guess it may be expected with the miptree creation failure - I do see correct output after making miptree creation work.
Also included is an apitrace and glxinfo with mesa master without any patches.

This was tested on a ValleyView Gen7 (8086:0f31) with kernel 3.10.35, git master mesa (2019-05-02). AFAICS the issues can happen with any HW/kernel as long as intel_update_winsys_renderbuffer_miptree() manages to fail.
