gitlab_project: 'dict object' has no attribute 'project' with --check mode

[staehler]

Summary

When I run my task with gitlab_project module in --check mode, there is no 'project' dictionary available. That's all what I'll get back from the module:

    name: "{{ gitlab_project.project_name }}"
    group: "test"
    state: present
  register: result

    var: debug

1. run this task with --check (no project dictionary)
2. run this task without --check (project dictionary available)
