MM-26346: check for nil Message in DisableMentionHighlights (#14972)

Sometimes a PostPatch may not contain the message field. For example,
while pinning a post, only the IsPinned field is set, and everything
else is nil. In that case, DisableMentionHighlights would throw a panic.

We handle that case by checking for nil first.
