[PATCH 2/2] drm: Prevent drm_copy_field() to attempt copying a NULL pointer

[Javier Martinez Canillas]

The drm_copy_field() helper is used to copy some struct drm_driver fields
to userspace through the DRM_IOCTL_VERSION ioctl. But it could be possible
that the driver didn't set some of the fields and are instead set to NULL.

If that is the case, the drm_copy_field() attempts to copy a NULL pointer:
