commit 00ae1491f970acc454be0df63f50942d94825860 upstream.
Smatch detected potential error pointer dereference.
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_syncobj.c:888 drm_syncobj_transfer_to_timeline()
error: 'fence' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
The error pointer comes from dma_fence_allocate_private_stub(). One
caller expected error pointers and one expected NULL pointers. Change
it to return NULL and update the caller which expected error pointers,
drm_syncobj_assign_null_handle(), to check for NULL instead.
