Nouveau - Jan 2016 - Backport request for commit 579b7c582 (drm/nouveau/pmu: do not assume a PMU is present)

This commit should be backported to kernel 4.3 (apologies for
line-wrapping). Without it, we get a null deref (i.e. oops) on GF117
GPUs which for one reason or another don't have the PMU hooked up.
That should be fixed in its own right, but that's a separate matter.
The issue was introduced in commit e2ca4e7d6e (drm/nouveau/pmu:
convert to new-style nvkm_subdev)

    drm/nouveau/pmu: do not assume a PMU is present

    Some devices may not have a PMU. Avoid a NULL pointer dereference in
    such cases by checking whether the pointer given to nvkm_pmu_pgob() is
    valid.
