Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/gvt: Fix the kernel null pointer error
once error happens in shadow_indirect_ctx function, the variable
wa_ctx->indirect_ctx.obj is not initialized but accessed, so the
kernel null point panic occurs.
Fixes: 894cf7d15634 ("drm/i915/gvt: i915_gem_object_create() returns an error pointer")
