Commit 30161f6b2e7d1 (Input: gpio_keys - clean up device tree parser) 
introduced the following kernel crash for a dt based kernel:
..

The reason for the crash was due to 'button = &pdata->buttons[i++];' 
returning a NULL pointer, and then 'button' was accessed afterwards 
without checking for NULL.

Fix this by correctly assigning 'pdata->buttons' and also add a NULL 
pointer check for 'button' pointer.

Changes since v1:
- Fix the location of 'button = pdata->buttons'. This fixes the probing of multiple keys.
