sendme: Fix coverity CID 1444999

The code flow in theory can end up with a layer_hint to be NULL but in
practice it should never happen because with an origin circuit, we must have
the layer_hint.

Just in case, BUG() on it if we ever end up in this situation and recover by
closing the circuit.

Fixes #30467.
