[PATCH] meson-mx-socinfo: Fix possible null-pointer dereference issues in meson_mx_socinfo_init

In meson_mx_socinfo_revision, kasprintf() returns a pointer
to dynamically allocated memory which can be NULL upon failure.

Similarly, the kstrdup_const in the meson_mx_socinfo_soc_id
returns a null pointer when it fails. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity. Avoid null pointer dereference issues.
