[PATCH] drm: qxl: Fix NULL pointer dereference at qxl_alloc_client_monitors_config

If qxl_alloc_client_monitors_config() fails to allocate
client_monitors_config then NULL pointer dereference occurs
in function qxl_display_copy_rom_client_monitors_config() after
qxl_alloc_client_monitors_config() call.

The patch adds return error from qxl_alloc_client_monitors_config()
and additional status for qxl_display_copy_rom_client_monitors_config
return value.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

Note: Is it correct that qxl_display_read_client_monitors_config() does not
return error in case of fail?
