Subject: drm/vc4: Fix NULL pointer dereference in vc4_save_hang_state()

From: Boris Brezillon <[email protected]>

commit 17b11b76b87afe9f8be199d7a5f442497133e2b0 upstream.

When saving BOs in the hang state we skip one entry of the kernel_state->bo[] array, thus leaving it to NULL. This leads to a NULL pointer dereference when, later in this function, we iterate over all BOs to check their ->madv state.

Fixes ca26d28bbaa3 ("drm/vc4: improve throughput by pipelining binning and rendering jobs")
