RDS: verify the underlying transport exists before creating a connection

There was no verification that an underlying transport exists when creating
a connection, this would cause dereferencing a NULL ptr.

It might happen on sockets that weren't properly bound before attempting to
send a message, which will cause a NULL ptr deref:
