drivers: base: swnode: check if pointer p is NULL before dereferencing it

Browse Source 
The pointer p can be potentially NULL as macro to_software_node can
return NULL.

Add null check on p before dereferencing it to avoid any NULL pointer
dereferences.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1476039 ("Explicit null dereferenced")
