firmware: arm_scmi: Fix double free in SMC transport cleanup path
[ Upstream commit f1d71576d2c9ec8fdb822173fa7f3de79475e9bd ]
When the generic SCMI code tears down a channel, it calls the chan_free
callback function, defined by each transport. Since multiple protocols
might share the same transport_info member, chan_free() might want to
clean up the same member multiple times within the given SCMI transport
implementation. In this case, it is SMC transport. This will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference at the second time:
| scmi_protocol scmi_dev.1: Enabled polling mode TX channel - prot_id:16
| arm-scmi firmware:scmi: SCMI Notifications - Core Enabled.

Simply check for the struct pointer being NULL before trying to access
its members, to avoid this situation.
This was found when a transport doesn't really work (for instance no SMC
service), the probe routines then tries to clean up, and triggers a crash.
