[PATCH v6 02/17] nvmem: add DEFINE_FREE for nvmem_cell_put cleanup

Add cleanup.h helper for nvmem_cell_put() to enable automatic resource
cleanup using __free(nvmem_cell_put) annotation.

Use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() since nvmem_cell_get() can return error pointers,
and passing an ERR_PTR to nvmem_cell_put() would cause issues.
