Subject: [PATCH] drm/amd/display: fix a possible NULL pointer dereference in
 bios_parser_get_src_obj()

[Why] the func  bios_parser_get_src_obj () is similar to  bios_parser_get_dst_obj () which is fixed by the commit<a8f976473196>("drm/amd/display: Banch of smatch error and warning fixes in DC").
the symbol 'id' is uninitialized and it is not checked before dereference it,may lead to null pointer dereference.
[How] Initialized variable explicitly with NULL and add sanitizer.
