[PATCH v3 1/6] drivers: core: device: set new parent when old parent is NULL

From: Yang Xiwen <forbidden405 at outlook.com>

The current logic does not update the new parent in device_reparent() if
old parent is NULL. The behavior is not desired. Fix it by setting the
parent in this case.

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