Subject: [PATCH v2] power: sequencing: fix an invalid pointer dereference in error path

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@...aro.org>

We may end up calling pwrseq_target_free() on a partially initialized
target object whose unit is either NULL or an ERR_PTR(). Avoid
dereferencing invalid memory by adding an appropriate check to
pwrseq_target_free().

Fixes: 249ebf3f65f8 ("power: sequencing: implement the pwrseq core")
Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...aro.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/62a3531e-9927-40f8-b587-254a2dfa47ef@stanley.mountain/

- check for ERR_PTR() in addition to checking for NULL
- only add the check to pwrseq_target_free() as anywhere else unit is
  always set and if it's not then it's another bug that needs fixing
