bug#20204: 24.4; (smie-backward-sexp-command) throws (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)

[Clément Pit--Claudel]

Evaluating the following forms after launching `emacs -Q' yields 
`(wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil)':

    (require 'smie)
    (smie-backward-sexp-command)

This is due to `smie-backward-sexp-command' not checking whether `n' is `nil' 
before passing `(- n)' to `smie-forward-sexp-command'.

-- Clément.
