[PATCH] staging: greybus: timesync: validate platform state callback

When tearingdown timesync, and not in arche platform, the state platform
callback is not initialized. That will trigger the following NULL
dereferencing.
CallTrace:

 gb_timesync_teardown+0x85/0xc0 [greybus]
 gb_timesync_svc_remove+0xab/0x190 [greybus]

 ? process_one_work+0x3b0/0x3b0
 kthread+0xc4/0xe0
 ? kthread_park+0xb0/0xb0
 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

So, fix that by adding checks before use the callback.

Greg,
This patch does not contain the "commit <sha> upstream" snippet since you
already removed the timesync code from the -next tree. So, It would never get
there. However this will affect the greybus users of 4.9.x.
