Subject: [PATCH 4.9 03/92] s390/cio: avoid calling strlen on null pointer

From: Vasily Gorbik <gor@...ux.ibm.com>

commit ea298e6ee8b34b3ed4366be7eb799d0650ebe555 upstream.

Fix the following kasan finding:
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in ccwgroup_create_dev+0x850/0x1140
Read of size 1 at addr 0000000000000000 by task systemd-udevd.r/561

CPU: 30 PID: 561 Comm: systemd-udevd.r Tainted: G    B
Hardware name: IBM 3906 M04 704 (LPAR)
Call Trace:

 [<0000000233877102>] system_call+0x2a6/0x2c8

Triggered by:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/group",
		O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC|O_CLOEXEC, 0666) = 16
write(16, "0.0.bd00,0.0.bd01,0.0.bd02", 26) = 26

The problem is that __get_next_id in ccwgroup_create_dev might set "buf"
buffer pointer to NULL and explicit check for that is required.
