opp: Allow dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() to return -EPROBE_DEFER

The OPP core manages various resources, e.g. clocks or interconnect paths.
These resources are looked up when the OPP table is allocated once
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() is called the first time (either directly
or indirectly through one of the many helper functions).

At this point, the resources may not be available yet, i.e. looking them
up will result in -EPROBE_DEFER. Unfortunately, dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table()
is currently unable to propagate this error code since it only returns
the allocated OPP table or NULL.

This means that all consumers of the OPP core are required to make sure
that all necessary resources are available. Usually this happens by
requesting them, checking the result and releasing them immediately after.

For example, we have added "dev_pm_opp_of_find_icc_paths(dev, NULL)" to
several drivers now just to make sure the interconnect providers are
ready before the OPP table is allocated. If this call is missing,
the OPP core will only warn about this and then attempt to continue
without interconnect. This will eventually fail horribly, e.g.:

    cpu cpu0: _allocate_opp_table: Error finding interconnect paths: -517
    ... later ...
    of: _read_bw: Mismatch between opp-peak-kBps and paths (1 0)
    cpu cpu0: _opp_add_static_v2: opp key field not found
    cpu cpu0: _of_add_opp_table_v2: Failed to add OPP, -22

This example happens when trying to use interconnects for a CPU OPP
table together with qcom-cpufreq-nvmem.c. qcom-cpufreq-nvmem calls
dev_pm_opp_set_supported_hw(), which ends up allocating the OPP table
early. To fix the problem with the current approach we would need to add
yet another call to dev_pm_opp_of_find_icc_paths(dev, NULL).
But actually qcom-cpufreq-nvmem.c has nothing to do with interconnects...

This commit attempts to make this more robust by allowing
dev_pm_opp_get_opp_table() to return an error pointer. Fixing all
the usages is trivial because the function is usually used indirectly
through another helper (e.g. dev_pm_opp_set_supported_hw() above).
These other helpers already return an error pointer.

The example above then works correctly because set_supported_hw() will
return -EPROBE_DEFER, and qcom-cpufreq-nvmem.c already propagates that
error. It should also be possible to remove the remaining usages of
"dev_pm_opp_of_find_icc_paths(dev, NULL)" from other drivers as well.

Note that this commit currently only handles -EPROBE_DEFER for the
clock/interconnects within _allocate_opp_table(). Other errors are just
ignored as before. Eventually those should be propagated as well.
