[PATCH v3 1/2] drm/vc4: Fix NULL pointer dereference in the async update path

vc4_plane_atomic_async_update() calls vc4_plane_atomic_check()
which in turn calls vc4_plane_setup_clipping_and_scaling(), and since
commit 58a6a36fe8e0 ("drm/vc4: Use
drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state() to simplify the logic"), this
function accesses plane_state->state which will be NULL when called
from the async update path because we're passing the current plane
state, and plane_state->state has been assigned to NULL in
drm_atomic_helper_swap_state().

Pass the new state instead of the current one (the new state has
->state set to a non-NULL value).

Fixes: 58a6a36fe8e0 ("drm/vc4: Use drm_atomic_helper_check_plane_state() to simplify the logic")
