lib: accept %NULL arguments for nl_addr_cmp()

Just be more forgiving. Also, this avoids a coverity warning:

    Error: FORWARD_NULL (CWE-476): [#def1]
    libnl-3.4.0/lib/route/addr.c:502: var_compare_op: Comparing "a->a_peer" to null implies that "a->a_peer" might be null.
    libnl-3.4.0/lib/route/addr.c:513: var_deref_model: Passing null pointer "a->a_peer" to "nl_addr_cmp", which dereferences it.
    libnl-3.4.0/lib/addr.c:587:8: deref_parm: Directly dereferencing parameter "a".
