ext4: fix possible null-ptr-deref in mbt_kunit_exit()

There's issue as follows:
    # test_new_blocks_simple: failed to initialize: -12
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000638-0x000000000000063f]
Tainted: [E]=UNSIGNED_MODULE, [N]=TEST
RIP: 0010:mbt_kunit_exit+0x5e/0x3e0 [ext4_test]
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 kunit_try_run_case_cleanup+0xbc/0x100 [kunit]
 kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter+0x89/0x100 [kunit]
 kthread+0x408/0x540
 ret_from_fork+0xa76/0xdf0
 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30

If mbt_kunit_init() init testcase failed will lead to null-ptr-deref.
So add test if 'sb' is inited success in mbt_kunit_exit().
