flash: Handle nullptr dereference of system_flash
With QEMU with NO support for MPIPL, 'p9_sbe_terminate' returns early at: /* Return if MPIPL is not supported */ if (!is_mpipl_enabled()) return; But with MPIPL supported in QEMU, 'p9_sbe_terminate' continues further and calls 'flash_unregister' which causes a Machine Check due to nullptr dereference of 'system_flash': [ 13.240783728,5] Reboot: OS reported error.

[ 13.247857686,3] OPAL: failed to log an error [ 13.248012502,2] NVRAM: Failed to load Previously above machine check was never hit as QEMU platform didn't had MPIPL, and hence the caller 'p9_sbe_terminate' used to return early. Add null check to ignore the unregister request if system_flash is not set.
