[PATCH][next] drm/amd/display: fix dereference of pointer aconnector when it is null

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

Currently pointer aconnector is being dereferenced by the call to
to_dm_connector_state before it is being null checked, this could
lead to a null pointer dereference.  Fix this by checking that
aconnector is null before dereferencing it.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 5133c6241d9c ("drm/amd/display: Add MST atomic routines")
