drm/mediatek: Add error handling for old state CRTC in atomic_disable

Type: advisorySources: OSV

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/mediatek: Add error handling for old state CRTC in atomic_disable Introduce error handling to address an issue where, after a hotplug event, the cursor continues to update. This situation can lead to a kernel panic due to accessing the NULL `old_state->crtc`. E,g.
