coresight: Fix NULL pointer dereference in _coresight_build_path



_coresight_build_path assumes that all the connections of a csdev
has the child_dev initialised. This may not be true if the particular
component is not supported by the kernel config(e.g TPIU) but is
present in the DT. In which case, building a path can cause a crash like this :
