Fix race condition on double RA during RRC reestablishment
Sometimes, especially in poor channel conditions, a UE can trigger
multiple RA procedures during RRC reestablishment, causing
reconfigCellGroup to be overwritten with a CellGroup that already has
spCellConfig removed, leading to an assertion failure in
update_cellgroup_for_reestablishment(). See logs below

This MR solves it by skipping the reconfigCellGroup overwrite when it
already holds a valid config with spCellConfig, and by replacing the
fatal assertion on missing spCellConfig with an early return.
