tcp: Avoid false (but convoluted) positive Coverity CWE-476 warning

If there are no TCP options in the header, tcp_tap_handler() will
pass the corresponding pointer, fetched via packet_get(), as NULL to
tcp_conn_from_sock_finish(), which in turn indirectly calls
tcp_opt_get().

If there are no options, tcp_opt_get() will stop right away because
the option length is indicated as zero. However, if the logic is
complicated enough to follow for static checkers, adding an explicit
check against NULL in tcp_opt_get() is probably a good idea.
