drm/fb-helper: fix segfaults in drm_fb_helper_debug_*
A drm driver that is implementing fb_debug_enter and fb_debug_leave in struct fb_ops with drm fb helper functions drm_fb_helper_debug_enter and drm_fb_helper_debug_leave must also implement the callback 'mode_set_base_atomic' in struct drm_crtc_helper_funcs. See Documentation/DocBook/kgdb.tmpl. The current implementation will segfault when 'mode_set_base_atomic' is a NULL pointer. Before this patch at least the drm drivers armada, ast, qxl, udl and virtio do not have a 'mode_set_base_atomic' implementation but using drm_fb_helper_debug_(enter|leave). So these drivers may segfault when callbacks fb_debug_(enter|leave) are called. Avoid the issue by just checking for NULL pointers. So all drivers can unconditionally implement fb_debug_(enter|leave) with the drm_fb_helper functions. If callback 'mode_set_base_atomic' is not implemented, the code in drm_fb_helper_debug_(enter|leave) does effectively nothing.
