Subject: [PATCH] drm/vc4: fix dereference before NULL check

The "perfmon" pointer is equal to the return value of idr_find
which may be NULL, access by vc4_perfmon_get before checking if
it was NULL. Fix this by dereferencing "perfmon" after "perfmon"
has been null checked.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference before null check")
Fixes: 65101d8c9108 ("drm/vc4: Expose performance counters to userspace")
