As with other places in the Linux kernel--kfree(NULL) being the most famous example--it's convenient to treat being passed a NULL argument as a noop in cleanup functions. Let's make drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() work like this. This is convenient for DRM devices that use the "component" model. On these devices we want shutdown to be a noop if the bind() call of the component hasn't been called yet. As long as drivers are careful to make sure the drvdata is NULL whenever the driver is not bound then we can just do a simple call to drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() with the drvdata at shutdown time.
