Fix incorrect nil handling in workflowTaskPoller (#1412)

What changed?

explicit nil handling in newWorkflowTaskPoller for ldaTunnel
Why?

Golang doesn't handle passing in nil pointer of concrete type directly into the interface. It still considers it not nil, which will cause panic in this case.

How did you test it?

Unit test fail before and pass after the change
