Subject: [PATCH] drm/nouveau/disp: Revert a NULL check inside nouveau_connector_get_modes

The original commit adding that check tried to protect the kenrel against
a potential invalid NULL pointer access.

However we call nouveau_connector_detect_depth once without a native_mode
set on purpose for non LVDS connectors and this broke DP support in a few
cases.
