IB/uverbs: Fix NULL pointer dereference during device removal

As part of ib_uverbs_remove_one which might be triggered upon
reset flow, we trigger IB_EVENT_DEVICE_FATAL event to userspace
application.
If device was removed after uverbs fd was opened but before
ib_uverbs_get_context was called, the event file will be accessed
before it was allocated, result in NULL pointer dereference:

Fix it by checking that user context was allocated before
trigger the event.
