[PATCH v4] drm/i915/gvt: add a NULL pointer check to avoid kernel panic

[Chuanxiao Dong]

Due to the request replay, context switch interrupt may come after
gvt free the workload thus can cause a kernel NULL pointer kernel
panic. This patch will add a simple check to avoid this for a short
term.

From long term, gvt workload lifecycle doesn't match with i915 request
and need to find a proper way to manage this.

v2: update the commit message;
    add EINPROGRESS check for workload->status

v3: make the status check gracefully.
v4: simplify the NULL pointer check.
