taprio: add null check on sched_nest to avoid potential null pointer dereference

The call to nla_nest_start_noflag can return a null pointer and currently
this is not being checked and this can lead to a null pointer dereference
when the null pointer sched_nest is passed to function nla_nest_end. Fix
this by adding in a null pointer check.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value")
Fixes: a3d43c0d56f1 ("taprio: Add support adding an admin schedule")
