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

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.
