This patch simply check this situation and fixes the crash
caused by NULL pointer.

I wonder, though, if cert_sig_digest_update() should be obtained by some sort
of function pointer.  It doesn't really seem to belong in this file.  But this
is a separate issue.

Yes, this is indeed the logic of the SM2 module. I have tried to dynamically load and obtain the pointer of this function through `request_module` before, but this method still does not seem very suitable. Here are some unfinished codes I tried before:

It would be great if you have some good experience to share with me, I will continue to try to optimize this code.

Best regards,
Tianjia
