When there is a recursive reference to a struct, such as via a pointer,
the Go frontend will build a RECORD_TYPE node and then fill it in
later.  Sometimes it turns out that the struct has an error, and later
never comes.  This patch avoids a crash for that case when referencing a
field in such a struct.  Bootstrapped and tested on
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
