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

From: fred gao <[email protected]>

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.
