Smatch detected potential error pointer dereference.

    drivers/gpu/drm/drm_syncobj.c:888 drm_syncobj_transfer_to_timeline()
    error: 'fence' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()

The error pointer comes from dma_fence_allocate_private_stub().  One
caller expected error pointers and one expected NULL pointers.  Change
it to return NULL and update the caller which expected error pointers,
drm_syncobj_assign_null_handle(), to check for NULL instead.
