drm/arm/malidp: fix a possible null pointer dereference
[ Upstream commit a1f95aede6285dba6dd036d907196f35ae3a11ea ]
In malidp_mw_connector_reset, new memory is allocated with kzalloc, but
no check is performed. In order to prevent null pointer dereferencing,
ensure that mw_state is checked before calling
__drm_atomic_helper_connector_reset.
