[PATCH 2/2] drm/xlnx/zynqmp_dpsub: check return value on drm_encoder_init

A call to drm_encoder_init() can fail. If the error code is not checked
this may lead to drm_encoder_cleanup() being called on an uninitialized
drm_encoder.
This patch addresses this by adding the proper return value check to the
drm_encoder_init() function call.
