Calling Wx::WindowUpdateLocker->new(undef) causes Perl to segfault.

This can easily occur if you are doing a lot of update locking
throughout a program and you overlook a single case where the clean up
order is different to what you expect, or you lock something not
instantiated yet.

Please add a check to the method so that Perl at least throws an
ordinary die rather than the segfault.
