Subject: [PATCH] gpu: drm: qxl: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in qxl_crtc_atomic_flush()

In qxl_crtc_atomic_flush(), there is an if statement on line 376 to
check whether crtc->state is NULL:
    if (crtc->state && crtc->state->event)

When crtc->state is NULL and qxl_crtc_update_monitors_config() is call, 
qxl_crtc_update_monitors_config() uses crtc->state on line 326:
    if (crtc->state->active)
and on line 358:
    DRM_DEBUG_KMS(..., crtc->state->active, ...);

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, crtc->state is checked before calling
qxl_crtc_update_monitors_config().

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
