[PATCH v2] backlight: pm8941: Add NULL check in exynos_generic_icc_probe()

devm_kasprintf() returns NULL when memory allocation fails. Currently,
exynos_generic_icc_probe() does not check for this case, which results
in a NULL pointer dereference.

Add NULL check after devm_kasprintf() to prevent this issue.

Fixes: 2f95b9d5cf0b ("interconnect: Add generic interconnect driver for Exynos SoCs")

V1 -> V2: The fix ensures icc_node cleanup on devm_kasprintf() failure
without restructuring the proven error handling workflow.
