If dco_get_peer_stats() is called with an uninitialized c->c1.tuntap it
results in a segfault. This issue happens when a client who has not
connected to any server:
  - has --management and exits,
  - has --management and a management interface client issues either
    `bytecount` or `status` or
  - if SIGUSR2 is sent to it.

Add a check to ensure the tun interface was set up before attempting to
retrieve peer statistics.

Tested this on ubuntu 20.04 + DCO -  --client + --management-hold, connect
to mgmt, "bytecount 1", "hold release", boom, SIGSEGV.

v1 looked correct, but checked the wrong variables, so "no SIGSEGV, but
no counters at all anymore", not so good either ;-)  - v2 fixes that,
no crash *and* working counters.  With proper timing.  So really getting
there, after a day staring at manage.c...

Your patch has been applied to the master branch.
