Subject: clk: fix a panic error caused by accessing NULL pointer

From: Cai Li <cai.li@spreadtrum.com>


[ Upstream commit 975b820b6836b6b6c42fb84cd2e772e2b41bca67 ]

In some cases the clock parent would be set NULL when doing re-parent,
it will cause a NULL pointer accessing if clk_set trace event is
enabled.

This patch sets the parent as "none" if the input parameter is NULL.
