remoteproc/mediatek: fix null pointer dereference on null scp pointer
[ Upstream commit 434ac4d51407ce3764a6ae96a89d90b8ae2826fb ]
Currently when pointer scp is null a dev_err is being called that
references the pointer which is the very thing we are trying to
avoid doing. Remove the extraneous error message to avoid this
issue.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference after null check")
