[PATCH] firmware: arm_scmi: Fix NULL pointer dereference in mailbox_chan_free

[Sudeep Holla]

scmi_mailbox is obtained from cinfo->transport_info and the first
call to mailbox_chan_free frees the channel and sets cinfo->transport_info
to NULL. Care is taken to check for non NULL smbox->chan but smbox can
itself be NULL. Fix it by checking for it without which, kernel crashes
with below NULL pointer dereference and eventually kernel panic.
