[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm: Fixes unsafe deference in locks.

[Peter Antoine]

This patch fixes an unsafe deference in the DRM_IOCTL_NEW_CTX. If the
ioctl is called before the lock is created or after it has been destroyed.
The code will deference a NULL pointer. This ioctl is a root ioctl so
exploitation is limited.
