cxl/features: Add check for no entries in cxl_feature_info
cxl EDAC calls cxl_feature_info() to get the feature information and
if the hardware has no Features support, cxlfs may be passed in as
NULL.

Add a check for cxlfs before dereferencing it and return -EOPNOTSUPP if
there is no cxlfs created due to no hardware support.
