rpmsg_chrdev_probe() stores the newly allocated eptdev in the default
endpoint's priv pointer before calling rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add(). If
rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() then fails, its error path frees eptdev while
the default endpoint may still dispatch inbound messages through
rpmsg_ept_cb(), leaving the callback with a dangling priv pointer.
Avoid publishing eptdev through the default endpoint until
rpmsg_chrdev_eptdev_add() succeeds. Any message that arrives before the
priv is published should be ignored, so make rpmsg_ept_cb() return
success when priv is NULL.
