[PATCH net-next v2 3/3] net: ti: icss-iep: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference for perout request

Whenever there is a perout request from the user application,
kernel receives req structure containing the configuration info
for that req. Add NULL pointer handling for perout request if
that req struct points to NULL.
