net/mlx5: SD, Handle possible devcom ERR_PTR

Check if devcom holds an error pointer and return immediately.

This fixes Smatch static checker warning:
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/lib/sd.c:221 sd_register()
error: 'devcom' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()

Enhance mlx5_devcom_register_component() so it stops returning NULL,
making it easier for its callers.
