[PATCH 09/16] video: vpl: handle missing struct vpl::ioctl gracefully

Display controllers don't usually implement the ioctl callback, because
they are invoked via the register_framebuffer API and only need to call
other drivers' ioctl and their own is never called.

Yet, when by mistake an ioctl is directed at a display controller, we
currently crash. Let's handle this case gracefully instead.
