pam_exec: fix segfault when authtok is null

Description

pam_exec: fix segfault when authtok is null

According to pam_exec(8), the expose_authtok option should be ignored
when the service function is pam_sm_setcred. Currently pam_exec only
prevent prompt for anth token when expose_authtok is set on
pam_sm_setcred. This subsequently led to segfault when there isn't an
existing auth token available.

Bug reported on this: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=263893

After reading https://reviews.freebsd.org/rS349556 I am not sure if the
default behaviour supposed to be simply not prompt for authentication
token, or is it to ignore the option entirely as stated in the man page.

This patch is therefore only adding an additional NULL check on the item
pam_get_item provide, and exit with PAM_SYSTEM_ERR when such item is
NULL.
