Subject: drm/amd/display: fix a Null pointer dereference vulnerability

From: Siyang Liu <Security@tencent.com>

commit 1bcf63a44381691d6192872801f830ce3250e367 upstream.

[Why]
A null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the AMD display driver's
(DC module) cleanup function dc_destruct().
When display control context (dc->ctx) construction fails
(due to memory allocation failure), this pointer remains NULL.
During subsequent error handling when dc_destruct() is called,
there's no NULL check before dereferencing the perf_trace member
(dc->ctx->perf_trace), causing a kernel null pointer dereference crash.

[How]
Check if dc->ctx is non-NULL before dereferencing.
