fix(material-experimental/mdc-slider): fix a few null pointer exceptions

Fixes a few null pointer errors if:
1. `setDisabledState` is called too early. This can't happen at the moment, but it showed up when trying to fix something in `@angular/forms` and it may become an issue in the future.
2. The component is destroyed before the initialization is complete. This showed up while investigating the first error.
