[PATCH net] net: airoha: Add NULL check for of_reserved_mem_lookup() in airoha_qdma_init_hfwd_queues()

of_reserved_mem_lookup() may return NULL if the reserved memory region
referenced by the "memory-region" phandle is not found in the reserved
memory table (e.g. due to a misconfigured DTS or a removed
memory-region node).  The current code dereferences the returned
pointer without checking for NULL, leading to a kernel NULL pointer
dereference at the following lines:

    dma_addr = rmem->base;                          // line 1156
    num_desc = div_u64(rmem->size, buf_size);       // line 1160

Add a NULL check after of_reserved_mem_lookup() and return -ENODEV if
the lookup fails, which is consistent with the existing error handling
for of_parse_phandle() failure in the same code block.
