whisper : add check for CPU backend initialization (ggml-org#2918)

This commit adds a check for the CPU backend initialization in the
whisper library. If the initialization fails, an exception is thrown.

The motivation for this change is to make the library more robust and
handle the case when the CPU backend initialization fails.

Resolves: ggml-org#2917
