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

 ? 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, even though it is still
in 4.10-rc. However this will affect the greybus users of 4.9.x. If you
meanwhile pull that remove to rc, this patch is only necessary in stable 4.9.x.

v1->v2:
   - add Fixes tag to changelog
   Johan Hovold:
      - for symmetry with the lock, adjust the unlock_bus function accordantly.
