Smatch detected potential error pointer dereference.
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_syncobj.c:888 drm_syncobj_transfer_to_timeline()
error: 'fence' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
The error pointer comes from dma_fence_allocate_private_stub(). One
caller expected error pointers and one expected NULL pointers. Change
it to return NULL and update the caller which expected error pointers,
drm_syncobj_assign_null_handle(), to check for NULL instead.
Fixes: f781f661e8c9 ("dma-buf: keep the signaling time of merged fences v3")

v2: Fix it in dma_fence_allocate_private_stub() instead of
__dma_fence_unwrap_merge().
