Subject: staging: greybus: add host device function pointer checks

From: Jason Hrycay <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit f05a88a39c5b5f226e08e626998bb920723b7d85 ]

Add sanity checks for cport_quiesce and cport_clear before invoking the callbacks as these function pointers are not required during the host device registration. This follows the logic implemented elsewhere for various other function pointers.
