ASoC: max98090: fix missing IS_ERR() before PTR_ERR() on mclk lookup

In max98090_probe(), the -EPROBE_DEFER check after devm_clk_get() is
broken due to a missing IS_ERR() guard.

The code intends to return -EPROBE_DEFER only when the clock lookup
fails with that specific error.  However, without IS_ERR() the check:

    if (PTR_ERR(max98090->mclk) == -EPROBE_DEFER)

is called unconditionally, including when devm_clk_get() succeeds and
returns a valid pointer.  Calling PTR_ERR() on a valid pointer
reinterprets its address as a signed long; the result is arbitrary
and is almost never equal to -EPROBE_DEFER, so the check silently
does nothing in the success case.  When devm_clk_get() fails with
any error other than -EPROBE_DEFER the check is also skipped, leaving
max98090->mclk holding an error pointer with no indication to the caller.

This means a deferred probe will never actually be triggered for this
device, and any non-EPROBE_DEFER clock error is silently swallowed with
the error pointer left in the mclk field.

Fix this by adding the missing IS_ERR() guard around the PTR_ERR() call,
matching the pattern already used in the sibling max98088 and wm8960
drivers.
