[PATCH 1/2] power/intel_uncore: fix crash closing uninitialized driver

When the power_intel_uncore_autotest unit test is run as an unprivileged
user which cannot init the power library, it crashes the unit test
binary due to calling "rte_power_uncore_exit" after the first test case
(initialization) fails. This crash is due to trying to write to NULL
file handles.

Fix the crash by checking each file handle is non-null before writing to
it and closing it.

Fixes: 60b8a661a957 ("power: add Intel uncore frequency control")
