We have a NULL check for 'dc_dmub_srv' in dc_dmub_srv_cmd_run_list()
but we are dereferencing it before checking.

Fix this moving the dereference next to NULL check.

This issue is found with Smatch(static analysis tool).

Fixes: e97cc04fe0fb ("drm/amd/display: refactor dmub commands into single function")
