[PATCH] clk: composite: fix NULL dereference when the parent clock is not set

[Haotian Zhang]

clk_composite_determine_rate() reads the parent clock with
clk_hw_get_parent() and hands it to
clk_composite_determine_rate_for_parent() without checking it.
clk_hw_get_parent() returns NULL when the clock has no parent yet, for
example while the parent is still an orphan, and the helper dereferences
that NULL pointer in clk_hw_get_rate(), which reads parent_hw->core and
oopses the kernel.

Return -EINVAL when the parent clock is NULL.
