drm/v3d: Fix null pointer dereference of pointer perfmon
[ Upstream commit ce7a1ecf3f9f1fccaf67295307614511d8e11b13 ]
In the unlikely event that pointer perfmon is null the WARN_ON return path
occurs after the pointer has already been deferenced. Fix this by only
dereferencing perfmon after it has been null checked.
