applet: Prevent nullable property access of async loader's item

ExpandableListItem's loader for customExpandedViewContent is
asynchronous, so its item will not be immediately available when source
component it set. Besides, there may be other reasons for item to be
null such as broken code. It's just a nullable field, and should be
treated as such.

Test plan: just click "Connect" on any unknown Wi-Fi network around.
