Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.0 64/73] nfs: fix possible null-ptr-deref when parsing param

From: Hawkins Jiawei <yin31149@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 5559405df652008e56eee88872126fe4c451da67 ]

According to commit "vfs: parse: deal with zero length string value",
kernel will set the param->string to null pointer in vfs_parse_fs_string()
if fs string has zero length.

Yet the problem is that, nfs_fs_context_parse_param() will dereferences the
param->string, without checking whether it is a null pointer, which may
trigger a null-ptr-deref bug.

This patch solves it by adding sanity check on param->string
in nfs_fs_context_parse_param().
