[ Upstream commit 3d887d512494d678b17c57b835c32f4e48d34f26 ]
As drm_dp_get_mst_branch_device_by_guid() is called from
drm_dp_get_mst_branch_device_by_guid(), mstb parameter has to be checked,
otherwise NULL dereference may occur in the call to
the memcpy() and cause following:
[12579.365869] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000049

As get_mst_branch_device_by_guid_helper() is recursive, moving condition
to the first line allow to remove a similar one for step over of NULL elements
inside a loop.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
