Unfortunately since we don't have Dave's connector refcounting patch
here yet, it's very possible that drm_atomic_state_default_clear() could
get called by intel_display_resume() when
intel_dp_mst_destroy_connector() isn't completely finished destroying an
mst connector, but has already finished setting connector->funcs to
NULL. As such, we need to treat the connector like it's already been
destroyed and just skip it, otherwise we'll end up dereferencing a NULL
pointer.

This fix is only required for 4.6 and below. David Airlie's patchseries
for 4.7 to add connector reference counting provides a more proper fix
for this.

Not fixing the race at all, bug if it helps a few users in real-world
cases while the real bugfix trickles down into shipping kernels (it'll be
in 4.7 but just way too big for backporting) I'm ok with this.
