The shim_lock module registers a verifier to call shim's verify, but the handler is registered even when the shim_lock protocol was not installed. This doesn't cause a NULL pointer dereference in shim_lock_write() because the shim_lock_init() function just returns GRUB_ERR_NONE if sl isn't set. But in that case there's no point to even register the shim_lock verifier since won't do anything. Additionally, it is only useful when Secure Boot is enabled. Finally, don't assume that the shim_lock protocol will always be present when the shim_lock_write() function is called, and check for it on every call to this function.
