[PATCH v2 11/12] drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: samsung_dsim_host_attach: don't use the bridge pointer as an error indicator

In preparation to handle refcounting of the out_bridge, we need to ensure
the out_bridge pointer contains either a valid bridge pointer or NULL, not
an ERR_PTR. Otherwise calls such as drm_bridge_get/put() would try to
redeference an ERR_PTR.
Stop using IS_ERR(next_bridge) as an indication of an error, and instead
use the 'ret' integer.
No functional change.
