Zijun Hu 1614e75d1a driver core: class: Fix wild pointer dereferences in API class_dev_iter_next()
[ Upstream commit e128f82f70 ]

There are a potential wild pointer dereferences issue regarding APIs
class_dev_iter_(init|next|exit)(), as explained by below typical usage:

// All members of @iter are wild pointers.
struct class_dev_iter iter;

// class_dev_iter_init(@iter, @class, ...) checks parameter @class for
// potential class_to_subsys() error, and it returns void type and does
// not initialize its output parameter @iter, so caller can not detect
// the error and continues to invoke class_dev_iter_next(@iter) even if
// @iter still contains wild pointers.
class_dev_iter_init(&iter, ...);

// Dereference these wild pointers in @iter here once suffer the error.
while (dev = class_dev_iter_next(&iter)) { ... };

// Also dereference these wild pointers here.
class_dev_iter_exit(&iter);

Actually, all callers of these APIs have such usage pattern in kernel tree.
Fix by:
- Initialize output parameter @iter by memset() in class_dev_iter_init()
  and give callers prompt by pr_crit() for the error.
- Check if @iter is valid in class_dev_iter_next().
