[PATCH] boot: android: handle boot images with missing DTB

607b07554e2 removed the check on the return status of the
android_image_get_dtb_img_addr call from android_image_get_dtb_by_index,
which results in null pointer accesses shortly after when trying to
check the header of a nonexistent DTB.

Fixes: 607b07554e2 ("android: boot: move to andr_image_data structure")
