Subject: [PATCH 3.16 059/245] dm flakey: check for null arg_name in
 parse_features()

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@...e.com>

commit 7690e25302dc7d0cd42b349e746fe44b44a94f2b upstream.

One can crash dm-flakey by specifying more feature arguments than the
number of features supplied.  Checking for null in arg_name avoids
this.

dmsetup create flakey-test --table "0 66076080 flakey /dev/sdb9 0 0 180 2 drop_writes"
