[PATCH] drm: mali-dp: Add check for kzalloc

As kzalloc may fail and return NULL pointer, the "mw_state" can be NULL.
If the the layout of struct malidp_mw_connector_state ever changes, it
will cause NULL poineter derefernce of "&mw_state->base".
Therefore, the "mw_state" should be check whether it is NULL in order
to improve the robust.
