Added Description

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

fbdev: tdfxfb: fix potential memory leak in tdfxfb_probe()

In tdfxfb_probe(), the memory allocated for modelist using
fb_videomode_to_modelist() when CONFIG_FB_3DFX_I2C is defined, is not
freed in the subsequent error paths.
Fix that by calling fb_destroy_modelist().
