FIX: fixed empty bug

One feature added to EventManager has been disconnecting
a participant at runtime. Unfortunatly, then the
manager of this participant is set to nullptr using
the setManager method. But this method also subscribes to the
shutdown event afterwords. This commit checks if the manager
is nullptr and ignore subscribing in that case.
