[PATCH][next] drm: fix null pointer dereference on null state pointer

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

In the case where state cannot be allocated, the current exit path via
label 'out' will dereference the null state pointer when calling
drm_atomic_state_put. Fix this by adding a new error exit label and
jumping to this to avoid the drm_atomic_state_put.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1476034 ("Dereference after null check")

Fixes: b9fc5e01d1ce ("drm: Add helper to implement legacy dirtyfb")
