Prevent potential call on discv5 which became nil

It could happen when we found multiple relevant peers and they were
processed before discv5 closed. For example we have max limit of 1:
- found peer A and B in the same kademlia cycle
- process peer A
- max limit is reached -> closed discv5 and set it to nil
- process peer B
- panic!!!
