[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gem: Avoid NULL dereference in __i915_gem_object_lock()

Coverity warns of a possible NULL dereference:

Both dma_resv_lock_interruptible() and dma_resv_lock() can return -EDEADLK. Protect
against a NULL dereference by checking for NULL before saving the object pointer. This
is consistent with previous checks for ww==NULL.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
