Fix error when uploading groups by CSV

This fixes the following error when uploading groups by CSV:

```

This is because `deduction.membership.grouping` is nil. However, it
doesn't makes sense to have an instance of a membership with null
grouping. so there must be something wrong with the deletion of
groupings. When a grouping gets deleted, the dependent memberships and
grace period deductions should also be deleted.

Tested:
- bundle exec rake test
- bundle exec rspec
Fix error reporting bug when uploading group CSV

This patch deals with two issues:

1. flash data don't need to be "reset from previous errors". They are
automatically reset by Rails for each request. Manually setting it to
nil causes the current error reporting code to skip the
`if !flash.key?(type)` check because the key exists, but flash[type]
is still nil and will trigger an exception later.

2. It's safer to test nilness of flash data than to test the existence
of keys.

Tested:
- bundle exec rake test
- bundle exec rspec
