[PATCH v2] drm: check for NULL parameter in exported drm_get_format_name() function.

[Liviu Dudau <Liviu.Dudau@arm.com>]

drm_get_format_name() de-references the buf parameter without checking
if the pointer was not NULL. Given that the function is EXPORT-ed, lets
sanitise the parameters before proceeding.

v2: Use BUG_ON() to annoy users that did not pass valid parameters to function.

I still think sanity checking the parameters of an exported function is worth
doing, even if the way one triggers the NULL pointer crash is priviledged. Not
a big fan of the verbosity of BUG_ON() and would rather silently reject NULL buf
pointer, but that is a matter of taste.
