A struct file is a bit too large to put on the kernel stack in general and triggers a warning for low settings of CONFIG_FRAME_WARN:

It's also slightly dangerous to leave a reference to a stack object in the drm_file structure after leaving the stack frame. This changes the code to just allocate the object dynamically and release it when we are done with it.

And appropriate onion teardown in case drm_open fails, so that we don't leak memory.
