[FLINK-6183]/[FLINK-6184] Prevent some NPE and unclosed metric groups This PR fixes 2 issues: 1) It prevents some NPEs in the buffer metrics by instantiating them after the task has been registered in the NetworkEnvironment. 2) It prevents some cases where the TaskMetricGroup would never be closed. These cases include an early exit in `Task#run()` and when 2) tasks with an identical ExecutionAttemptID are run on the same TM.
