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

If ast_state is NULL, __drm_atomic_helper_crtc_reset() has to be called
with a state of NULL. Otherwise the reset might leave the dangling
pointer in the CRTC's state field.
