Subject: [PATCH 5.14 021/151] s390: fix strrchr() implementation

From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@...wei.com>

commit 8e0ab8e26b72a80e991c66a8abc16e6c856abe3d upstream.

Fix two problems found in the strrchr() implementation for s390
architectures: evaluate empty strings (return the string address instead of
NULL, if '\0' is passed as second argument); evaluate the first character
of non-empty strings (the current implementation stops at the second).

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org
Reported-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@...ux.ibm.com> (incorrect behavior with empty strings)
