[PATCH] libdw: aggregate_size check NULL result from get_type.

aggregate_size can be called recursively with the result of get_type.
get_type can return NULL when dwarf_peel_type fails. Found by afl-fuzz.

dwarf_aggregate_size when called directly doesn't need a NULL check
because it calls and checks the result of dwarf_peel_type directly.
