Subject: [PATCH] tipc: fix NULL pointer dereference in shutdown()

tipc_msg_create() can return a NULL skb and if so, we shouldn't try to
call tipc_node_xmit_skb() on it.

I feel like we should maybe return -ENOMEM or -ENOBUFS, but I'm not sure
userspace is equipped to handle that. Anyway, this is better than a GPF
and looks somewhat consistent with other tipc_msg_create() callers.
