Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next] rdma: Check comm string before print in print_comm()

From: Mark Zhang <markz@...lanox.com>

Broken kernels (not-upstream) can provide wrong empty "comm" field.
It causes to segfault while printing in JSON format.

Fixes: 8ecac46a60ff ("rdma: Add QP resource tracking information")
