[PATCH master] pmdomain: fix NULL pointer derference with dummy power domains

With the addition of commit 4aca68990d04 ("drivers: power: ignore power
domains with barebox,allow-dummy"), it's possible for genpd to be NULL
when there is no driver and the device tree node has barebox,allow-dummy
in it.

Allow for this possibility in genpd_add_device and genpd_remove_device
as well.

Fixes: 44c6bedbd439 ("pmdomain: allow callback for when devices are attached")

Issue is in master, but has not yet hit a release.
Needed also on next to fix CI breakage as the issue became visible only
after in-tree boards started using barebox,allow-dummy.
