Currently it is possible to call netdev-dpdk/get-mempool-info before a
mempool as been created. This can happen because a device is added to
the netdev_shash before a mempool is allocated for it, which results in
a segmentation fault.

Now we check for a NULL value before attempting to dereference it.

Fixes: be4817331071 ("netdev-dpdk: Add debug appctl to get mempool 
information.")

v2: Added a test for this issue.
v3: Set command error instead of printing error.
