As netlink_get_register() may return NULL, we must not pass the returned
data unchecked to expr_set_type() as that will dereference it. Since the
parser has failed at that point anyway, by returning early we can skip
the useless statement allocation that follows in
netlink_parse_ct_stmt().

Changes since v1:
- Fix for the same problem in netlink_parse_meta_stmt(), too.
- Print error message instead of silently failing.
- Align coding style with other post netlink_get_register() checks.
