[PATCH v3] drm: Add checks for NULL drm_connector_helper_funcs

This patch add checks for NULL drm_connector_helper_funcs
pointers before derefrencing the variable to avoid NULL pointer
dereference and make the helper function optional in the following
cases:

1) when using drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes for fill_modes
callback in the drm_connector_funcs.
2) using drm_atomic_helper_check for atomic_check callbacks in the
drm_mode_config_funcs.

The dependency is as follow:

drm_connector_funcs:
* fill_modes = drm_helper_probe_single_connector_modes
	b) drm_helper_probe_detect

drm_mode_config_func:
* atomic_check = drm_atomic_helper_check
	a) drm_atomic_helper_check_modeset
	a) handle_conflicting_encoders
	c) update_connector_routing

Changes in v3:
- add checks for drm_connector_helper_funcs only since plane/crtc 
  helper funcs are necessary for a functional driver

Changes in v2:
- add the least amount of checks to make the helpers optional for vkms
