drm/msm/mdp5: check the return of kzalloc()
[ Upstream commit 047ae665577776b7feb11bd4f81f46627cff95e7 ]
kzalloc() is a memory allocation function which can return NULL when
some internal memory errors happen. So it is better to check it to
prevent potential wrong memory access.
Besides, since mdp5_plane_reset() is void type, so we should better
set `plane-state` to NULL after releasing it.
