Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

video/aperture: Call sysfb_disable() before removing PCI devices

Call sysfb_disable() from aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices()
before removing PCI devices. Without, simpledrm can still bind to
simple-framebuffer devices after the hardware driver has taken over
the hardware. Both drivers interfere with each other and results are
undefined.

Reported modesetting errors [1] are shown below.

The problem was added by commit 5e0137612430 ("video/aperture: Disable
and unregister sysfb devices via aperture helpers") to v6.0.3 and does
not exist in the mainline branch.

The mainline commit 5e0137612430 ("video/aperture: Disable and
unregister sysfb devices via aperture helpers") has been backported
from v6.0-rc1 to stable v6.0.3 from a larger patch series [2] that
reworks fbdev framebuffer ownership. The backport misses a change to
aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices(). Mainline itself is fine,
because the function does not exist there as a result of the patch
series.

Instead of backporting the whole series, fix the additional function.
