If ggml_backend_metal_init() fails (e.g. iPad Pro M1 2nd Gen), a valid struct is still returned but
ctx
is null.A subsequent call to ggml_backend_metal_supports_family() crashes because is ctx is null.
So this PR implements:
Return NULL from ggml_backend_metal_init() when context is NULL.
Don't call ggml_backend_metal_supports_family() when backend_gpu is NULL;
