  [Clang] Prevent null pointer dereferences in SVE tuple functions (#94267)

This patch 

addresses a null pointer dereference issue reported by static analyzer
tool in the
`EmitSVETupleSetOrGet()` and `EmitSVETupleCreate()` functions.
Previously, the function
assumed that the result of `dyn_cast<>` to `ScalableVectorType` would
always be non-null,
    which is not guaranteed.

The fix introduces a null check after the `dyn_cast<>` operation. If the
cast fails and
`SingleVecTy` is null, the function now returns `nullptr` to indicate an
error. This prevents the
  dereference of a null pointer, which could lead to undefined behavior.

Additionally, the assert message has been corrected to accurately
reflect the expected
   conditions.

These changes collectively enhance the robustness of the code by
ensuring type safety and preventing runtime errors due to improper type
casting.
