Abort the probing of the camera driver in case there isn't a camera
actually connected to the Raspberry Pi. This solution also avoids a
NULL ptr dereference of mmal instance on driver unload.

In testing this both with and without a camera module attached it
appears to still load the entire v4l stack even if there's no camera
attached and it remains post probe, the /dev/video0 interface doesn't
appear, which is what I'd expect, and from the dmesg output
with/without a camera module it certainly seems to do less. I'm not
sure if it's possible to detect whether we have a camera module before
we start up the full media/v4l stack and exit the process and unload
the module but I suspect having all the v4l bits loaded without
various interfaces might cause confusion.
