drm/amd/display: Add null check for set_output_gamma in dcn30_set_output_transfer_func

This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer

in the dcn30_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously,

set_output_gamma was being checked for nullity at line 386, but then it

was being dereferenced without any nullity check at line 401. This

could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if

set_output_gamma is indeed null.

To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before

dereferencing it. We do this by adding a nullity check for

set_output_gamma before the call to set_output_gamma at line 401. If

set_output_gamma is null, we log an error message and do not call the

function.

This fix prevents a potential null pointer dereference error.

error: we previously assumed 'mpc->funcs->set_output_gamma' could be null (see line 386)
