[PATCH 6.19 265/311] PM: EM: Fix NULL pointer dereference when perf domain ID is not found

commit 9badc2a84e688be1275bb740942d5f6f51746908 upstream.

dev_energymodel_nl_get_perf_domains_doit() calls
em_perf_domain_get_by_id() but does not check the return value before
passing it to __em_nl_get_pd_size(). When a caller supplies a
non-existent perf domain ID, em_perf_domain_get_by_id() returns NULL,
and __em_nl_get_pd_size() immediately dereferences pd->cpus
(struct offset 0x30), causing a NULL pointer dereference.

The sister handler dev_energymodel_nl_get_perf_table_doit() already
handles this correctly via __em_nl_get_pd_table_id(), which returns
NULL and causes the caller to return -EINVAL. Add the same NULL check
in the get-perf-domains do handler.

Fixes: 380ff27af25e ("PM: EM: Add dump to get-perf-domains in the EM YNL spec")
