drm/amd/display: Add null check for setoutputgamma in dcn30setoutputtransferfunc

This commit adds a null check for the setoutputgamma function pointer in the dcn30setoutputtransferfunc function. Previously, setoutputgamma 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 setoutputgamma is indeed null.

To fix this, we now ensure that setoutputgamma is not null before dereferencing it. We do this by adding a nullity check for setoutputgamma before the call to setoutputgamma at line 401. If setoutputgamma is null, we log an error message and do not call the function.

This fix prevents a potential null pointer dereference error.
