Subject: [PATCH] drm/vkms: fix variable dereferenced before check warning

Smatch warns:

drivers/gpu/drm/vkms/vkms_plane.c:110 vkms_plane_atomic_update() warn:
 variable dereferenced before check 'fb' (see line 108)

Fix the warning by moving the dereference after the NULL check.

Fixes: 8ba1648567e2 ("drm: vkms: Refactor the plane composer to accept new formats")
