I've been experiencing some intermittent crashes down in the display
driver code. The symptoms are ususally a line like this in dmesg:

    amdgpu 0000:30:00.0: [drm] Failed to create MST payload for port 
000000006d3a3885: -5

...followed by an Oops due to a NULL pointer dereference.

Switch to using mgr->dev instead of state->dev since "state" can be
NULL in some cases.

I've been running this patch for a couple of days, but the problem
hasn't occurred again as of yet. It seems sane though as long as we can
assume that mgr->dev will be valid even when "state" is a NULL pointer.
