drm/amd/display: Fix null check for pipe_ctx->plane_state in hwss_setup_dpp

This commit addresses a null pointer dereference issue in hwss_setup_dpp(). The issue could occur when pipe_ctx->plane_state is null. The fix adds a check to ensure pipe_ctx-&gt;plane_state is not null before accessing. This prevents a null pointer dereference.
