drm/amd/display: Fix dc_link NULL handling in HPD init

amdgpu_dm_hpd_init() may see connectors without a valid dc_link.

The code already checks dc_link for the polling decision, but later
unconditionally dereferences it when setting up HPD interrupts.

Assign dc_link early and skip connectors where it is NULL.

Fixes the below:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c:940 amdgpu_dm_hpd_init()
error: we previously assumed 'dc_link' could be null (see line 931)
