[PATCH -next v3] I2C: Make return value check more accurate and explicit for devm_pinctrl_get()

If pinctrl is not available (thus devm_pinctrl_get() returns NULL) then
recovery can't work, because we can't switch the I2C pins between the
I2C controller and GPIO. So, it is quite correct to print
"can't get pinctrl, bus recovery not supported" because the I2C bus
can't be recovered without pinctrl.

The PTR_ERR() is also fine - because if pinctrl is not present and
returns NULL, we'll end up returning zero, which is exactly what we
want.

However, open code that with a more accurate message will be more explicit
for NULL case when CONFIG_PINCTRL is not defined.

v3:
- Split into two if() statements instead of removing the NULL checks.
- Remove the fix tags.
- Update the commit title and message.
- Update to bring the author's name before.
v2:
- Remove NULL check instead of using IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to avoid leaving them behind.
- Update the commit title and message.
