Subject: [PATCH] media: ipu6: isys: fix csi2 NULL deref in stream enable/disable

media_pad_remote_pad_first() may return NULL when there is no enabled
media link on the CSI-2 sink pad. ipu6_isys_csi2_enable_streams() and
ipu6_isys_csi2_disable_streams() dereference remote_pad->entity
unconditionally, which can lead to a NULL pointer dereference when no
remote pad is present.

Check the remote pad before dereferencing it, return -ENOTCONN from the
enable path when no remote pad is found, and always stop the local CSI-2
stream in the disable path even if the remote entity is already gone.
Rely on this check to also cover the remote sub-device, as
media_entity_to_v4l2_subdev() only returns NULL when called with a NULL
entity.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
