The following error messages are observed on boot with the Tegra234
Jetson AGX Orin board ...

 tegra-xusb-padctl 3520000.padctl: Failed to create device link (0x180)
   with 1-0008
 tegra-xusb-padctl 3520000.padctl: Failed to create device link (0x180)
   with 1-0008
 tegra-xusb-padctl 3520000.padctl: Failed to create device link (0x180)
   with 1-0008

In the above case, device_link_add() intentionally returns NULL because
these are SYNC_STATE_ONLY links and the device is already probed.
Therefore, the above messages are not actually errors. Fix this by
replicating the test from device_link_add() in the function
fw_devlink_create_devlink() and don't call device_link_add() if there
are no links to create.

I am not sure if there is a better way to fix, but given that the
function device_link_add() is exported, I figured we could not just
move the test. Anyway, if there is a better way to fix this, let me
know.
