[PATCH] pinctrl: return real error codes when pinctrl is not included

Currently the fallback functions when pinctrl is not being built do
return either NULL or 0, either no pinctrl handle or no error,
making them fail silently.

All drivers using pinctrl do only test for error conditions, which
made for example the i2c-s3c2410 driver fail on a devicetree based
machine without pinctrl, as the conditional
	if (IS_ERR(i2c->pctrl) && s3c24xx_i2c_parse_dt_gpio(i2c))
did not reach the second part to initialize the gpios from dt.

Therefore let the fallback pinctrl functions return -ENOTSUPP
or the equivalent ERR_PTR to indicate that pinctrl is not supported.
