Fix potential NullPointerException in JpaQueryCreator.

With the commit for GH-2363, we introduced an unguarded call to ReturnedType.getTypeToRead(), which could return null under certain conditions. Unfortunately Spring Data JPA dod not contain a test case that triggered that scenario.

This commit switches to ReturnedType.getReturnedType() which is non-nullable and lets us inspect the calls results for interfaces, which we need to create the JPA query properly.

Fixes GH-2408
