[SPARK-16622][SQL] Fix NullPointerException when the returned value of the called method in Invoke is null

## What changes were proposed in this pull request?

Currently we don't check the value returned by called method in `Invoke`. When the returned value is null and is assigned to a variable of primitive type, `NullPointerException` will be thrown.

## How was this patch tested?

Jenkins tests.
