slimbus: avoid null pointer dereference on msg
The pointer msg is checked to see if it is null at the start of the function and jumps to the error exit label reterr that then dereferences msg when it prints a dev_err error message. Avoid this potential null pointer dereference by only printing the error message if msg is not null.
