Subject: [PATCH] drm/vmwgfx: avoid null pointer dereference at failure paths

vmw_takedown_otable_base() and vmw_mob_unbind() check for
potential vmw_fifo_reserve() failure and print error message,
but then immediately dereference NULL pointer.

Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).
