[ Upstream commit 82a44ae113b7b35850f4542f0443fcab221e376a ]

In the case of taprio offload is not enabled, the error handling path
causes a kernel crash due to kernel NULL pointer deference.

Fix this by adding check for NULL before attempt to access 'plat->est'
on the mutex_lock() call.

The following kernel panic is observed without this patch:
