unique tag panic on slice contains nil elem

[Wanghb1]

i want to make sure elem of pointer slice is not nil，meanwhile, i also need the Name field is unique.

the former can be achieved like:

struct { F1 []*A validate:"dive,required" }

however, the unique tag on nil elem cause panic

func TestName(t *testing.T) { type A struct { Name string } e := struct { F1 []*A validate:"unique=Name" }{F1: []*A{nil}} err := validate.Struct(e) assert.Error(t, err) }

it turns out: panic: reflect: call of reflect.Value.FieldByName on zero Value [recovered] panic: reflect: call of reflect.Value.FieldByName on zero Value

Your expectation is that a nil entry in the list would also fail validation, right?
