drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in drm_vblank_destroy_worker()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in drm_vblank_destroy_worker() drm_vblank_init() call drmm_add_action_or_reset() with drm_vblank_init_release() as action. If __drmm_add_action() failed, will directly call drm_vblank_init_release() with the vblank whose worker is NULL. As the resule, a null-ptr-deref will happen in kthread_destroy_worker(). Add the NULL check before calling drm_vblank_destroy_worker().
