ice: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ice_vsi_set_napi_queues

Add NULL pointer checks in ice_vsi_set_napi_queues() to prevent crashes during resume from suspend when rings[q_idx]->q_vector is NULL.

Tested adaptor: 60:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller E810-XXV for SFP [8086:159b] (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Ethernet Network Adapter E810-XXV-2 [8086:4003]

SR-IOV state: both disabled and enabled can reproduce this issue.

kernel version: v6.18

Reproduce steps: Boot up and execute suspend like systemctl suspend or rtcwake.
