We found a case that if a caller misused this function on a platform without
imsic, the extra check will be needed here since "imsic_get_data()" will not
guarantee to return a null pointer. 

It's not a normal case, of course, but since this is not a static function,
having more sanity checks could help prevent the unexpected results.
