[RFC v2 1/6] drm/amd/display/amdgpu_dm: Fix backlight_device_register() error handling

[Hans de Goede]

backlight_device_register() returns an ERR_PTR on error, but other code
such as amdgpu_dm_connector_destroy() assumes dm->backlight_dev[i] is NULL
if no backlight is registered.

Clear dm->backlight_dev[i] on registration failure, to avoid other code
trying to deref an ERR_PTR pointer.
