[PATCH 1/2] drm/nouveau/sw: prevent NULL deref of disp in vblank methods

The NV50 and GF100 software-class vblank methods nv50_sw_chan_mthd()
and gf100_sw_chan_mthd() evaluate "data < device->disp->vblank.index_nr"
to validate the requested vblank head before allowing its notifier.

On a headless card the display subdevice is absent: nvkm_subdev_disable()
(strap-driven from devinit) and the -ENODEV path of the NVKM_LAYOUT_ONCE
device constructor both leave device->disp == NULL while the device
continues to probe and still registers a render node (DRIVER_RENDER). An
unprivileged client holding a /dev/dri/renderD* fd can then create a
software channel and push method 0x0408 (NV50) / 0x040c (GF100), which
dereferences the NULL device->disp and oopses the kernel.

The channel constructors nv50_sw_chan_new() and gf100_sw_chan_new()
already tolerate an absent display ("for (i = 0; disp && ...)"), so no
vblank notifier is ever registered on such a card and the method handlers
are the only path that assumes disp is present. Guard the dereference
with the same disp NULL test the constructors already use.
