hwmon: (cgbc-hwmon) Add missing NULL check after devm_kzalloc() 

The driver allocates memory for sensor data using devm_kzalloc(), but
did not check if the allocation succeeded. In case of memory allocation
failure, dereferencing the NULL pointer would lead to a kernel crash.

Add a NULL pointer check and return -ENOMEM to handle allocation failure
properly.
