[PATCH] media: rp1-cfe: Use IS_ERR() check for media_entity_remote_source_pad_unique()

Hi Ingyu,

Quoting Ingyu Jang (2026-05-15 01:01:48)
> media_entity_remote_source_pad_unique() returns either a valid struct
> media_pad pointer or an error pointer (ERR_PTR(-ENOTUNIQ) or
> ERR_PTR(-ENOLINK)); it never returns NULL. The current NULL check
> therefore never triggers, and the "pad not connected" error path is
> unreachable.
> 
> Replace the NULL check with an IS_ERR() check so the validation
> actually detects malformed media graphs.
