    Fix KDC null deref on TGS inner body null server
    
    After the KDC decodes a FAST inner body, it does not check for a null
    server.  Prior to commit 39548a5b17bbda9eeb63625a201cfd19b9de1c5b this
    would typically result in an error from krb5_unparse_name(), but with
    the addition of get_local_tgt() it results in a null dereference.  Add
    a null check.
    
    Reported by Joseph Sutton of Catalyst.
    
    CVE-2021-37750:
    
    In MIT krb5 releases 1.14 and later, an authenticated attacker can
    cause a null dereference in the KDC by sending a FAST TGS request with
    no server field.
