kernel: fix bugs added with mac-address-ascii support

1. Check for -EPROBE_DEFER
If it occurs we have to return immediately. Trying other properties
could result in another error and ignoring -EPROBE_DEFER which has a
special meaning.

2. Check for read result
Assuming property->read() success can result in NULL pointer
dereference. It happens e.g. for "mac-address" with NVMEM cell
containing invalid MAC.

3. Simplify code
Don't move cell reading & nvmem_cell_put() into a loop. Simplify loop
code.
