[ Upstream commit 517621b7060096e48e42f545fa6646fc00252eac ]
vmw_context_cotable can return either an error or a null pointer and its
usage sometimes went unchecked. Subsequent code would then try to access
either a null pointer or an error value.
The invalid dereferences were only possible with malformed userspace
apps which never properly initialized the rendering contexts.
Check the results of vmw_context_cotable to fix the invalid derefs.
