Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amd/display: avoid NPD when ASIC does not support DMUB

ctx->dmub_srv will de NULL if the ASIC does not support DMUB, which is
tested in dm_dmub_sw_init.

However, it will be dereferenced in dmub_hw_lock_mgr_cmd if
should_use_dmub_lock returns true.

This has been the case since dmub support has been added for PSR1.

Fix this by checking for dmub_srv in should_use_dmub_lock.
