[PATCH v3] mtd: powernv_flash: check return value of devm_kasprintf()

devm_kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful by
checking the pointer validity.

Fixes: acfe63ec1c59 ("mtd: Convert to using %pOFn instead of device_node.name")

v2:Change commit log, and fix error check code.
v3:No need for error messages upon memory allocation failures.
