dm-raid: fix possible NULL dereference with undefined raid type
rs->raid_type is assigned from get_raid_type_by_ll(), which may return
NULL. This NULL value could be dereferenced later in the condition
'if (!(rs_is_raid10(rs) && rt_is_raid0(rs->raid_type)))'.
Add a fail-fast check to return early with an error if raid_type is NULL,
similar to other uses of this function.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Svace.
Fixes: 33e53f06850f ("dm raid: introduce extended superblock and new raid types to support takeover/reshaping")
