The function _subscribe_async_callback_handler dereferences the subscription pointer before checking if it is NULL. This is a REVERSE_INULL defect where the NULL check comes after the dereference, making it ineffective. This fix moves the NULL check before the dereference and adds error logging for the NULL case.
