### What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

Linux OS

### Reproduction steps

1. Added crendetials mapper like below:
withCredentials([[
$class: 'AmazonWebServicesCredentialsBinding',
credentialsId: 'aws-shared-account',
accessKeyVariable: 'AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
secretKeyVariable: 'AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'
]]) {

2. Run the pipeline. It gives below error

Reproduce the pipeline using the AmazonWebServicesCredentialsBinding example and the reported plugin versions. Start at AmazonWebServicesCredentialsBinding.bind, then follow MultiBinding.getCredentials and CredentialsProvider.findCredentialById as shown in the stack trace. Done means the configured AWS credential is processed without the reported NullPointerException.
