wwan: T8412: Fix commit failure when modem is absent or not connected

`mmcli --simple-disconnect` can be called when the modem bearer is not active.
This causes cmd() to raise a `PermissionError` and abort the commit.
Handle the case gracefully so the configuration can be committed before the modem
is physically present or fully connected.
