Re: [PATCH] spice-app: avoid crash when core spice module doesn't loaded

When qemu is built with modules, but a given module doesn't load
qemu should handle that gracefully. When ui-spice-core.so isn't
able to be loaded and qemu is invoked with -display spice-app or
-spice, qemu will dereference a null pointer. With this change we
check the pointer before dereferencing and error out in a normal
way.
