gpio: generic: Revert to old error handling in bgpio_map 

Returning an error instead of NULL in bgpio_map if
platform_get_resource_byname does not find a resource was introduced with
commit cf3f2a2c8b ("gpio: generic: improve error handling in bgpio_map").
This results in several qemu runtime failures with default and non-default
configurations, if attempts are made to boot from mmcblk0. Examples for
failures with multi_v7_defconfig are

Machine: vexpress-a9	dtb: vexpress-v2p-ca9
Machine: vexpress-a15	dtb: vexpress-v2p-ca15-tc1

Crash:

VFS: Cannot open root device "mmcblk0" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

Looking into the code, always returning an error if bgpio_map fails
does not appear to make much sense, since the code in bgpio_setup_io
specifically supports some of the resources to be NULL.

Fixes: cf3f2a2c8b ("gpio: generic: improve error handling in bgpio_map")
