liblzma: Check for unexpected NULL pointers in block_header_decode(). 

The API docs gave an impression that such checks are done
but they actually weren't done. In practice it made little
difference since the calling code has a bug if these are NULL.

Thanks to Jia Tan for the original patch that checked for
block->filters == NULL.
