drm/i915/gvt/scheduler: fix potential NULL pointer dereference

Commit Message

_workload_ is being dereferenced before it is null checked, hence
there is a potential null pointer dereference.

Fix this by moving the pointer dereference after _workload_ has
been null checked.

All of them?

if (!workload || !reg_state || workload->ring_id != RCS)
	return;

or just the null check on workload ?

Thanks for the feedback.
