    Check context handle in gss_export_sec_context()
    
    After commit 4f35b27a9ee38ca0b557ce8e6d059924a63d4eff, the
    context_handle parameter in gss_export_sec_context() is dereferenced
    before arguments are validated by val_exp_sec_ctx_args().  With a null
    context_handle, the new code segfaults instead of failing gracefully.
    Revert this part of the commit and only dereference context_handle if
    it is non-null.
    
    (cherry picked from commit b6f29cbd2ab132e336b5435447348400e9a9e241)
    
    ticket: 8334
    version_fixed: 1.14.1
