cxl/region: Fix null pointer dereference for resetting decoder
Not all decoders have a reset callback.
The CXL specification allows a host bridge with a single root port to
have no explicit HDM decoders. Currently the region driver assumes there
are none. As such the CXL core creates a special pass through decoder
instance without a commit/reset callback.
Prior to this patch, the ->reset() callback was called unconditionally when
calling cxl_region_decode_reset. Thus a configuration with 1 Host Bridge,
1 Root Port, and one directly attached CXL type 3 device or multiple CXL
type 3 devices attached to downstream ports of a switch can cause a null
pointer dereference.
Before the fix, a kernel crash was observed when we destroy the region, and
a pass through decoder is reset.
The issue can be reproduced as below,
1) create a region with a CXL setup which includes a HB with a
single root port under which a memdev is attached directly.
2) destroy the region with cxl destroy-region regionX -f.
