[lvc-project] [PATCH] drbd: Add NULL check for net_conf to prevent dereference in state validation

If the net_conf pointer is NULL and the code attempts to access its 
fields without a check, it will lead to a null pointer dereference.
Add a NULL check before dereferencing the pointer.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
