This commit adds a null check for the dm_state variable in the
create_validate_stream_for_sink function. Previously, dm_state was being
checked for nullity at line 7194, but then it was being dereferenced
without any nullity check at line 7200. This could potentially lead to a
null pointer dereference error if dm_state is indeed null.
we now ensure that dm_state is not null before dereferencing it. We do
this by adding a nullity check for dm_state before the call to
create_stream_for_sink at line 7200. If dm_state is null, we log an
error message and return NULL immediately.
This fix prevents a null pointer dereference error.

But dm_state is dereferenced on the next line without checking. (Presumably the NULL check can be removed).
