backport of #2918
fixes #2890 Non-root user "docker login" results in panic SIGSEGV segmentation violation
fixes moby/moby#41771 Command 'docker login' does not work
Commit f32731f (#2818) fixed a potential panic when an error was returned while trying to get existing credentials.
However, other code paths currently use the result of
GetDefaultAuthConfig()
even in an error condition; this resulted in a panic, because anil
was returned.We should fix the other code paths to be more resilient, and to not use the result of
GetDefaultAuthConfig()
if an error occurs, but starting with a minimal patch to fix the immediate issue.- Description for the changelog
