Subject: [PATCH 4/4] intel_th: Fix a NULL dereference when hub driver is not loaded

Connecting master to an output port when GTH driver module is not loaded
triggers a NULL dereference:

> RIP: 0010:intel_th_set_output+0x35/0x70 [intel_th]
> Call Trace:
>  ? sth_stm_link+0x12/0x20 [intel_th_sth]
>  stm_source_link_store+0x164/0x270 [stm_core]

>  do_syscall_64+0x57/0x1d0
>  entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Make sure the module in question is loaded and return an error if not.
