Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915/gvt/scheduler: fix potential NULL pointer
 dereference

_workload_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence
there is a potential null pointer dereference.

Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _workload_ has
been null checked.

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1430136 ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: fa3dd623e559 ("drm/i915/gvt: keep oa config in shadow ctx")
