[PATCH] drm: Check for connector->state NULL in drm_atomic_add_affected_connectors

On a system I'm doing development on I found a crash.  The crawl looked
like:

  PC is at drm_atomic_add_affected_connectors+0x98/0xe8
  ...
  drm_atomic_add_affected_connectors from __drm_atomic_helper_set_config+0x218/0x344
  __drm_atomic_helper_set_config from restore_fbdev_mode+0x108/0x250
  restore_fbdev_mode from drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked+0x3c/0x80
  drm_fb_helper_restore_fbdev_mode_unlocked from rockchip_drm_lastclose+0x1c/0x20
  rockchip_drm_lastclose from drm_lastclose+0x4c/0x104
  drm_lastclose from drm_release+0x424/0x47c
  drm_release from __fput+0xf8/0x1d4
  __fput from ____fput+0x18/0x1c
  ____fput from task_work_run+0xa8/0xbc
  task_work_run from do_exit+0x448/0x91c
  do_exit from do_group_exit+0x5c/0xcc
  do_group_exit from get_signal+0x4dc/0x57c
  get_signal from do_signal+0x9c/0x3b4
  do_signal from do_work_pending+0x60/0xb8
  do_work_pending from slow_work_pending+0xc/0x20

I found that I could fix the crash by checking connector->state against
NULL.  This isn't code I'm familiar with and I didn't dig too deep, so
I'd appreciate any opinions about whether this is a sane thing to do.
Note that I don't actually have graphics up on my system at the moment,
so perhaps this is all just a symptom of the strange state I'm in.
