sched/null: avoid crash after failed domU creation

When creating a domU, but the creation fails, there is a corner case that may
lead to a crash in the null scheduler when running a debug build of Xen.

(XEN) ****************************************
(XEN) Panic on CPU 0:
(XEN) Assertion 'npc->unit == unit' failed at common/sched/null.c:379
(XEN) ****************************************

The events leading to the crash are:

* null_unit_insert() was invoked with the unit offline. Since the unit was
  offline, unit_assign() was not called, and null_unit_insert() returned.
* Later during domain creation, the unit was onlined
* Eventually, domain creation failed due to bad configuration
* null_unit_remove() was invoked with the unit still online. Since the unit was
  online, it called unit_deassign() and triggered an ASSERT.

To fix this, only call unit_deassign() when npc->unit is non-NULL in
null_unit_remove.
