[2201.7.x] Fix resilient client failure in passthrough

[TharmiganK]

Purpose

Related to ballerina-platform/ballerina-library#4824

Examples

import ballerina/http;
import ballerina/log;

public type Data record {|
    string name;
    int age;
    string[] address;
|};

final http:Client clientEP = check new ("http://localhost:9090", retryConfig = {
    count: 3,
    interval: 10
});

service on new http:Listener(9091) {

    resource function post data(Data[] data) returns http:Response? {
        do {
            return check clientEP->/data.post(data);
        } on fail error err {
            log:printError("Error: ", err);
            return;
        }
    }
}

This was failing before when we try to build the binary payload for the request where the data source is already available. This fix will check the availability of the data source before trying to build the payload as byte[].
