Subject: [PATCH] drm/radeon: Fix potential null-ptr-deref

radeon_get_connector_for_encoder() assigns radeon_encoder->enc_priv to
mst_enc which is dereferenced later without being checked for NULL
beforehand. It is possible for radeon_encoder->enc_priv and therefore
mst_enc, to be NULL due to potential lack of memory.

This patch adds a sanity NULL-check to prevent the issue.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 9843ead08f18 ("drm/radeon: add DisplayPort MST support (v2)")
