## Overview

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

drm/virtio: Fix driver removal with disabled KMS

DRM atomic and modesetting aren't initialized if virtio-gpu driver built
with disabled KMS, leading to access of uninitialized data on driver
removal/unbinding and crashing kernel. Fix it by skipping shutting down
atomic core with unavailable KMS.
