NPE is thrown and silently ignored in GroupImpl.isStagedPortlet in case of uninstalling a portlet

This function retrieves all configured portletIds from group.typeSettings and calls to

Portlet stagedPortlet = PortletLocalServiceUtil.getPortletById(stagedPortletId);

Returned value can be null but that value is not checked, so following code fails with a NPE:

if (portletDataHandler.equals(stagedPortlet.getPortletDataHandlerInstance())) {

We should check stagedPortlet:

if (stagedPortlet == null) {
    continue;
}
