software node: return -ENOTCONN when referenced swnode is not registered yet
It's possible that at the time of resolving a reference to a remote
software node, the node we know exists is not yet registered as a full
firmware node. We currently return -ENOENT in this case but the same
error code is also returned in some other cases, like the reference
property with given name not existing in the property list of the local
software node.
It makes sense to let users know that we're dealing with an unregistered
software node so that they can defer probe - the situation is somewhat
similar to there existing a firmware node to which no device is bound
yet - which is valid grounds for probe deferral. To that end: use
-ENOTCONN to indicate the software node is "not connected".
