The initial intent of the atomic_create_state hook was to simply
allocate a proper drm_private_state and return it, without any side
effect.
However, __drm_atomic_helper_private_obj_create_state(), which most
atomic_create_state implementations call, introduces a side effect by
setting drm_private_obj.state to the newly allocated state.
This assignment defeats the purpose, but is also redundant since
drm_atomic_private_obj_init(), the only call site for the
atomic_create_state hook, will also set this pointer to the newly
allocated state.
Drop the assignment in __drm_atomic_helper_private_obj_create_state().

helper")
