Subject: [PATCH v3] drm/dp_mst: Fix NULL deref in get_mst_branch_device_by_guid_helper()

As drm_dp_get_mst_branch_device_by_guid() is called from
drm_dp_get_mst_branch_device_by_guid(), mstb parameter has to be checked,
otherwise NULL dereference may occur in the call to 
the memcpy() and cause following:

[12579.365869] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000049
[12579.365878] #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

[12579.365946] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30

As get_mst_branch_device_by_guid_helper() is recursive, moving condition
to the first line allow to remove a similar one for step over of NULL elements
inside a loop.
