[PATCH] [media] VPU: mediatek: fix null pointer dereference on pdev

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king at canonical.com>

pdev is being null checked, however, prior to that it is being
dereferenced by platform_get_drvdata.  Move the assignments of
vpu and run to after the pdev null check to avoid a potential
null pointer dereference.
