Subject: drm/i915/gvt: Fix the kernel null pointer error

From: fred gao <fred.gao@intel.com>

commit ffeaf9aaf97b4bdaf114d6df52f800d71918768c upstream.

once error happens in shadow_indirect_ctx function, the variable
wa_ctx->indirect_ctx.obj is not initialized but accessed, so the
kernel null point panic occurs.

Fixes: 894cf7d15634 ("drm/i915/gvt: i915_gem_object_create() returns an error pointer")
