- Prevent null dereference: if the Mask given to
  `ShuffleInstructionBuilder::adjustExtracts()` is empty or all-poison,
  then `VecBase` will be `nullptr` and the call to
  `castToScalarTyElem(VecBase)` will dereference it. Add an explicit
  null check.

- Prevent use of uninitialized scalar: in the unlikely event that
  `CandidateVFs` is empty, then `AnyProfitableGraph` will be
  uninitialized in `if` condition following the loop. (This seems like a
  false-positive, but I submitted this change anyways as initializing
  bools costs nothing and is generally good practice)
