Subject: drm/nouveau/pmu: do not assume a PMU is present

From: Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com>

commit 579b7c58215329803ce184704463de09f0f310ac upstream.

Some devices may not have a PMU. Avoid a NULL pointer dereference in
such cases by checking whether the pointer given to nvkm_pmu_pgob() is
valid.
