Subject: clkdev: fix clk_add_alias() with a NULL alias device name

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

commit 625faa6a720d26fc0db9e20b48dc0dfe4c8d8ddf upstream.

clk_add_alias() was not correctly handling the case where alias_dev_name
was NULL: rather than producing an entry with a NULL dev_id pointer,
it would produce a device name of (null).  Fix this.
