Currenty, if either input or associated data are null in an aead

This patch doesn't make sense unless you were getting a crash
without it.

If template[i].input was really NULL then the memcpy should crash.

I needed to do this for some extended testing elsewhere in similar-looking code, where input could indeed be NULL and I did encounter crashes, but its not reproduceable within tcrypt/testmgr itself, so indeed, not necessary here.
