MDL-48493 admin: Fix PHP warning thrown if unable to detect component

The method detect_plugin_component() returns false or string. The
normalize_component() expects strings only. Passing false to it
(typically when the plugin does not declare its component) caused the
PHP warning.

Credit goes to Ankit Agarwal for spotting this during testing.
