[PATCH v4 05/45] drm/connector: Check drm_connector_init pointers arguments

All the drm_connector_init variants take at least a pointer to the
device, connector and hooks implementation.

However, none of them check their value before dereferencing those
pointers which can lead to a NULL-pointer dereference if the author
isn't careful.

Let's test those pointers instead and error out if any is NULL.
