drm/amd: Guard against bad data for ATIF ACPI method

If a BIOS provides bad data in response to an ATIF method call
this causes a NULL pointer dereference in the caller.

```

? amdgpu_atif_query_backlight_caps.constprop.0 (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_acpi.c:386 (discriminator 1)) amdgpu
```

It has been encountered on at least one system, so guard for it.
