[PATCH v2] memory: mtk-smi: Fix a null dereference for the ostd

We add the ostd setting for mt8195. It introduces a KE for the
previous SoC which doesn't have ostd setting. This is the log:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
0000000000000080
...
pc : mtk_smi_larb_config_port_gen2_general+0x64/0x130
lr : mtk_smi_larb_resume+0x54/0x98
...

In the code: larbostd = larb->larb_gen->ostd[larb->larbid],
if "larb->larb_gen->ostd" is null, the "larbostd" is the offset(e.g.
0x80 above), it's also a valid value, then accessing "larbostd[i]" in the
"for" loop will cause the KE above. To avoid this issue, initialize
"larbostd" to NULL when the SoC doesn't have ostd setting.

change note: Reword the commit message to show why it KE. and update the
solution via initializing "larbostd" is NULL explicitly in the non-ostd
case.
