[PATCH] drm/qxl: fix NULL dereference in qxl_add_mode

Return value of a function 'drm_cvt_mode' is dereferenced without
checking for NULL but drm_mode_create() in drm_cvt_mode() may
return NULL value in case of memory allocation error.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

That doesn't fix the NULL pointer dereference in case "preferred" is
false.

I'd suggest "if (!mode) return 0" instead.

v2: case with false value of 'preferred' is now taken into account
