Move the null check of Offset before its dereference in checkInit. When the 
element type has zero size (e.g., an empty struct in C), the division returns 
an empty optional, which was dereferenced unconditionally.

Fixes #190457

Subject: [PATCH] [analyzer] Fix crash in CStringChecker on zero-size element
 types

Move the null check of Offset before its dereference in checkInit.
When the element type has zero size (e.g. empty struct), the division
returns an empty optional which was dereferenced unconditionally.

Fixes #190457
