The function get_cipher_desc() may return NULL if the cipher type is
invalid or unsupported. In fill_sg_out(), the return value is used
without any checks, which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference.
This patch adds a DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE check to ensure that
cipher_desc is valid and offloadable before proceeding. This prevents
potential crashes and provides a clear warning in debug builds.
