CVE-2026-31540 drm/i915/gt: Check set_default_submission() before deferencing
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/i915/gt: Check set_default_submission() before deferencing

When the i915 driver firmware binaries are not present, the
set_default_submission pointer is not set. This pointer is
dereferenced during suspend anyways.

Add a check to make sure it is set before dereferencing.
