If the clock_context_init() fails, the ctx->instance->tsync will be NULL,
but it may be used in calling tracecmd_write_guest_time_shift(). This will
cause a SEGFAULT as that function expects it to be non NULL.
Test for tsync not NULL and return -1 if it is.
More should be done to warn when this happens, but for now prevent the
SEGFAULT. This makes the code more robust.
