[PATCH] drm/imx/ipuv3: Check CRTC state before freeing

imx_drm_crtc_reset() destroys the current CRTC state only when
crtc->state is non-NULL, but it always converts crtc->state to
struct imx_crtc_state and passes the result to kfree().

When reset is called without an existing state, container_of(NULL, ...)
does not produce NULL. Keep the imx state free in the same crtc->state
guard as the helper state destruction.

This issue was found by a static analysis checker and confirmed by
manual source review.
