The return value of kzalloc() needs to be checked.
To avoid use of null pointer '&ast_state->base' in case of the
failure of alloc.

Fixes: f0adbc382b8b ("drm/ast: Allocate initial CRTC state of the correct size")

*Change 1. Add the else statement that calling
__drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset() with a state of NULL.
