[PATCH] clk: qcom: rcg2: validate frequency table entry in __clk_rcg2_shared_set_rate()

[Gabor Juhos]

Commit aec8c0e28ce4 ("clk: qcom: rcg2: add clk_rcg2_shared_floor_ops")
removed validating of the frequency table entry pointer returned by the
qcom_find_freq() or the qcom_find_freq_floor() functions.

Since both functions can return NULL and the pointer is passed directly
to the __clk_rcg2_configure() function where it gets dereferenced
unconditionally, it could cause a panic.

Restore the sanity check removed by the mentioned commit in order to avoid
a possible NULL pointer dereference.

Compile tested only.

Normally, the CCF calls .determine_rate before .set_rate. The floor
determination helper already rejects a request below the lowest supported
 frequency:

 ```c
   if (!f)
      return -EINVAL;
 ```

So an ordinary clk_set_rate() request below the table minimum should
fail during rate determination and typically not reach
 __clk_rcg2_shared_set_rate().
