drm/gem: Always initialize the gem object in object_init 

At least drm/i915 expects that the obj->dev pointer is set even in
failure paths. Specifically when the shmem initialization fails we
call i915_gem_object_free which needs to deref obj->base.dev to get at
the slab pointer in the device private structure. And the shmem
allocation can easily fail when userspace is hitting open file limits.

Doing the structure init even when the shmem file allocation fails
prevents this Oops.

This is a regression from
