Fix an NPE caused by the previous fix to Grid's frozen columns (#11444)

* Fix an NPE caused by the previous fix to Grid's frozen columns (#10653)

If the user managed to get two frozen column count changes into a single server round-trip before the component had been attached, the previous fix  #11346 lead to a null pointer exception since there was no diff state available.

This fix adds a null check before removing the frozen column count value from the diff state so that this will not happen.

Closes #10653
