drm/bridge: drm_bridge_put(): ignore ERR_PTR
Most functions returning a struct drm_bridge pointer currently return a valid pointer or NULL, but this restricts their ability to return an error code as an ERR_PTR describing the error kind. In preparation to have new APIs that can return a struct drm_bridge pointer holding an ERR_PTR (and for those which already do) make drm_bridge_put() ignore ERR_PTR values, just like it ignores NULL pointers. This will avoid annoying error checking in many places and the risk of missing error checks.
