Fix incorrect use of IS_ERR() to check devm_kzalloc() return value.
devm_kzalloc() returns NULL on failure, not an error pointer.

This issue was introduced by commit 4277f035d227
("coresight: trbe: Add a representative coresight_platform_data for TRBE")
which replaced the original function but didn't update the error check.

IS_ERR_OR_NULL(desc.pdata) would be better.

Thanks,
