[PATCH] drm/mediatek: Check CRTC state before freeing

mtk_crtc_reset() destroys the current CRTC state only when crtc->state
is non-NULL, but it always converts crtc->state to struct mtk_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 mtk 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.
