Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 23/23] ubifs: Check for name being NULL while mounting

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@....at>

[ Upstream commit 37f31b6ca4311b94d985fb398a72e5399ad57925 ]

The requested device name can be NULL or an empty string.
Check for that and refuse to continue. UBIFS has to do this manually
since we cannot use mount_bdev(), which checks for this condition.

Fixes: 1e51764a3c2ac ("UBIFS: add new flash file system")
