drm/mst: Fix NULL pointer dereference at drm_dp_add_payload_part2
[Why] Commit:
- commit 5aa1dfcdf0a4 ("drm/mst: Refactor the flow for payload allocation/removement") accidently overwrite the commit
- commit 54d217406afe ("drm: use mgr->dev in drm_dbg_kms in drm_dp_add_payload_part2") which cause regression.
[How] Recover the original NULL fix and remove the unnecessary input parameter 'state' for drm_dp_add_payload_part2().
