watchdog: stm32_iwdg: Propagate errors from optional IRQ lookup

This commit updates the IRQ initialization in the stm32_iwdg watchdog
driver to properly propagate errors from platform_get_irq_optional(). It
ensures that errors such as -EPROBE_DEFER or -EINVAL are passed back to
the caller, rather than continuing the probe without an IRQ. The -ENXIO
return value is still treated as a missing optional IRQ and handled
gracefully.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but since we are adjusting the error handling
around IRQs here, is there a missing cleanup path for the wake IRQ?

A bit further down in stm32_iwdg_irq_init(), the code calls the unmanaged
dev_pm_set_wake_irq(dev, irq) function:

	if (of_property_read_bool(np, "wakeup-source")) {
		...
		ret = dev_pm_set_wake_irq(dev, irq);
		if (ret)
			return ret;
	}

	ret = devm_request_irq(dev, irq, stm32_iwdg_isr, ...);

If devm_request_irq() fails immediately after, or if a subsequent setup step
like stm32_iwdg_start() fails in stm32_iwdg_probe(), the wake IRQ remains
attached because dev_pm_set_wake_irq() does not automatically clean up on
failure or device unbind.

Could this cause the memory for the wake IRQ to leak and leave a dangling
pointer in dev->power.wakeirq? If a probe deferral or unbind occurs,
would the next probe attempt fail permanently with -EEXIST when
dev_pm_set_wake_irq() encounters the dangling pointer? Would using
devm_pm_set_wake_irq() here instead ensure proper lifecycle management?
