Subject: [PATCH] bcachefs: Fix NULL pointer dereference in bch2_opt_to_text

syzbot has found an general protection fault in prt_str [1].

In the prt_str function, a NULL pointer dereference occurs when the
parameter str is NULL, which is called in bch2_opt_to_text when
opt->type is BCH_OPT_STR. If an invalid index v or incorrect
flag is passed to ptr_str, then this could lead to this issue.
