When running a simple, diskless 'kvm ./bzImage' KVM session we currently
segfault at the end of the session:

  [    4.895488] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
  [    4.899371] Rebooting in 1 seconds..
  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  disk_image__close (self=0x0) at disk-image.c:93
  93		if (self->ops->close)
  (gdb)

Because disk_image__close() assumes that 'self' is never NULL.

Add a NULL check to allow a clean exit.
