[PATCH] interconnect: Treat xlate() returning NULL node as an error

[Mike Tipton]

Currently, if provider->xlate() or provider->xlate_extended()
"successfully" return a NULL node, then of_icc_get_from_provider() won't
consider that an error and will successfully return the NULL node. This
bypasses error handling in of_icc_get_by_index() and leads to NULL
dereferences in path_find().

This could be avoided by ensuring provider callbacks always return an
error for NULL nodes, but it's better to explicitly protect against this
in the common framework.

I'm not specifically aware of any upstream cases of this happening, but
we did hit this downstream. And it's hard to ensure this can never
happen upstream, since it's hard to ensure that none of the
qcom_icc_desc::nodes arrays have zero holes in them, for instance.
