[PATCH RFC 1/3] drivers: core: device: set new parent when old parent is NULL

From: Yang Xiwen <forbidden405 at outlook.com>

The old logic does not set the new parent in device_reparent() when old
parent is NULL. It's not desired. Fix it by setting the parent in this
case.

Fixes: cfecbaf4e768 ("dm: core: add support for device re-parenting")
