cxl/region: Fix null pointer dereference due to pass through decoder commit



Not all decoders have a commit 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 callback.

Prior to this patch, the ->commit() callback was called unconditionally.
Thus a configuration with 1 Host Bridge, 1 Root Port, 1 switch with
multiple downstream ports below which there are multiple CXL type 3
devices results in a situation where committing the region causes a null
pointer dereference.
