[PATCH] drm/nouveau/dispnv50: Don't call drm_atomic_get_crtc_state() in prepare_fb

[Lyude Paul]

Since we recently started warning about uses of this function after the
atomic check phase completes, we've started getting warnings about this in
nouveau. It appears a misplaced drm_atomic_get_crtc_state() call has been
hiding in our .prepare_fb callback for a while.

So, fix this by adding a new nv50_head_atom_get_new() function and use that
in our .prepare_fb callback instead.

So I was at kernel summit and someone was talking about AI review
prompts so I threw this patch at it, and it we shouldn't use IS_ERR
here, and I think it is correct.

get_new_crtc_state only returns NULL not an error.

Seems like the magic 8 ball happened to be correct. This should just be a
check for NULL. Will respin in a bit
