[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 2/4] dm: core: Fix code reentrancy issue in device_probe_child()

The device might have already been probed during the call to
device_probe() on its parent device (e.g. PCI bridge devices).
In its parent device's probe routine, it might probe all of
its child devices via device_probe() thus the codes reenter
device_probe_child(). To support code reentrancy, test these
allocated memory against NULL to avoid memory leak, and return
to the caller if dev->flags has DM_FLAG_ACTIVATED set after
device_probe() returns, so that we don't mess up the device.
