Panic when receiving Cloud without IPAM provider

[jduepmeier]

Describe the bug

If the cloud configuration does not define an ipam provider a panic occurs.

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x8 pc=0x1741002]

Reproduction steps

1. Setup a cloud without IPAM provider
2. Run ako pod
3. Panic occurs

Expected behavior

No panic should occur.

Additional context

I think the problem is this line:
https://github.com/vmware/load-balancer-and-ingress-services-for-kubernetes/blob/master/ako-infra/avirest/handle_netinfo.go#L399

It deferences the CloudCache.IPAMProviderRef without checking for nil.
