drm/bridge: samsung-dsim: samsung_dsim_host_attach: use a temporary variable for the next bridge

In preparation to handle refcounting of the out_bridge, we need to ensure
the out_bridge pointer contains either a valid bridge pointer or NULL, not
an ERR_PTR. Otherwise calls such as drm_bridge_get/put() would try to
redeference an ERR_PTR.

As a preliminary cleanup, add a temporary local 'next_bridge' pointer and
only copy it in dsi->out_bridge as late as possible, i.e. just before
calling pdata->host_ops->attach() which uses it (only in the exynos
driver).

Not strictly needed, but for symmetry move the clearing of dsi->out_bridge
in samsung_dsim_host_detach() to after pdata->host_ops->detach().
