Currently, nullCheck() will attempt to invoke any truthy value as a function if the path argument contains a null character. This commit validates that the callback is actually a function before trying to invoke it. fs.access() was vulnerable to this bug, as nullCheck() was called prior to type checking its
callback.

test/parallel/test-fs-null-bytes.js is arguably a better place for this but I'll leave that up to you.
