The code is okay, but I would clarify the commit message a bit.

'box' can be initialized (it is a module), 'box.cfg' can be called, but
we usually use parentheses to mark a name as a function, so 'box.cfg()'
can be called. Technically 'box.cfg{} was initialized' is not correct.

'If so' here point to the positive case (when called).

Let me propose wording that will satisfy me:

> Added a check whether box.cfg() is called within an instance file. If
> box.cfg() is missed, point a user the reason of a fail explicitly.
>
> Before this commit the error was look so:
>
> /usr/bin/tarantoolctl:541: attempt to index a nil value

Also don't forget to add 'Fixes #xxxx' clause to the end of the commit
message.
