description:
Request body: fixed segfault on early errors.

The r->request_body might not be initialized on error handling in
ngx_http_read_client_request_body(), notably if ngx_http_test_expect()
or ngx_pcalloc() fail.  After introduction of request body clearing
in 9259:81082b5521dd (1.27.0), this caused segmentation fault due to
NULL pointer dereference when clearing r->request_body->bufs.

Fix is to explicitly check if r->request_body is available before
clearing r->request_body->bufs.
