drm/msm/dpu: check for null return of devm_kzalloc() in dpu_writeback_init()
[ Upstream commit 21e9a838f505178e109ccb3bf19d7808eb0326f4 ]
Because of the possilble failure of devm_kzalloc(), dpu_wb_conn might
be NULL and will cause null pointer dereference later.
Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM.
