When removing a SPMI driver, there can be a crash due to NULL pointer
dereference if it does not have a remove callback defined, as the remove
callback gets called directly in spmi_drv_remove(). This is one such call
trace observed when removing the QCOM SPMI PMIC driver:

If a driver has all its resources allocated through devm_() APIs and
does not need any other explicit cleanup, it would not require a
remove callback to be defined. The SPMI framework also does not enforce
the presence of a remove callback when a client driver registers with it.
Hence, add a check for remove callback presence before calling it
when removing a SPMI driver.
