[PATCH v3 2/2] ARM: imx: gpc: Fix the imx_gpc_genpd_init() error path

If of_genpd_add_provider_onecell() fails the following kernel crash is
observed on a kernel built with multi_v7_defconfig:

[    1.739301] [00000040] *pgd=00000000

Instead of returning of_genpd_add_provider_onecell() directly,
we should check its return value and in the case of error we
should unwind the previously taken actions, which in these case are:
- Call imx6q_pm_pu_power_off()
- Set imx6q_pu_domain.reg back to NULL

Setting imx6q_pu_domain.reg to NULL in the error case is important 
as it will prevent further operations in the pu_reg regulator.

This kernel crash is not observed with imx_v6_v7_defconfig because
it selects GPU and VPU drivers, which are consumers of the GPC block
and thus change the refcount of the pu_reg regulator.
