[PATCH] clk: base: fix an incorrect NULL check on list iterator

The bug is here:
	if (nvkm_cstate_valid(clk, cstate, max_volt, clk->temp))
		return cstate;

The list iterator value 'cstate' will *always* be set and non-NULL
by list_for_each_entry_from_reverse(), so it is incorrect to assume
that the iterator value will be unchanged if the list is empty or no
element is found (In fact, it will be a bogus pointer to an invalid
structure object containing the HEAD). Also it missed a NULL check
at callsite and may lead to invalid memory access after that.

To fix this bug, just return 'encoder' when found, otherwise return
NULL. And add the NULL check.
