fb_add_videomode() can fail with -ENOMEM when its internal kmalloc()
cannot allocate a struct fb_modelist.
If that happens, the modelist stays empty but the driver continues to
register.
Add a check for its return value to prevent poteintial null-ptr-deref,
which is similar to the commit 17186f1f90d3
("fbdev: Fix do_register_framebuffer to prevent null-ptr-deref in fb_videomode_to_var").
Fixes: 1b6c79361ba5 ("video: imxfb: Add DT support")
