drm/amd/display: Check null pointer before dereferencing se
[ Upstream commit ff599ef6970ee000fa5bc38d02fa5ff5f3fc7575 ]
[WHAT & HOW]
se is null checked previously in the same function, indicating
it might be null; therefore, it must be checked when used again.
This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity.
