iommu/mediatek: Fix NULL pointer dereference when printing dev_name
When larbdev is NULL (in the case I hit, the node is incorrectly set
iommus = <&iommu NUM>), it will cause device_link_add() fail and
kernel crashes when we try to print dev_name(larbdev).
Let's fail the probe if a larbdev is NULL to avoid invalid inputs from
dts.
It should work for normal correct setting and avoid the crash caused
by my incorrect setting.
