powerpc/smp: add NULL guard for cause_ipi in smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass

Browse source

smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass() calls smp_ops->cause_ipi() without
checking whether it has been set.

On platforms using muxed IPI (e.g. powernv/pseries), smp_ops->cause_ipi
is initialized to NULL in the static smp_ops and only assigned during
the platform smp_probe() handler.  If the IPI subsystem fails to
initialize -- for example when xive_init_ipis() fails and
xive_smp_probe() returns an error -- the probe handler returns early
and cause_ipi is never set.  Any subsequent IPI send (e.g.
arch_smp_send_reschedule()) would dereference the NULL pointer.

Add a NULL check to avoid the crash in that situation.
