Handle possible null exception on ReactEditText with AppCompat 1.4.0

[mikemasam]

This Change fixes a possible null exception as the user uses AppCompat 1.4.0
as a dependency in their App and uses a TextInput component.

The exception may happen as mFabricViewStateManager is accessed during
the constructor of the superclass, and is not yet initialized.

• For reference, commit #e21f8ec34984551f87a306672160cc88e67e4793 fixes the crash which was already happening.
