[Liu ShuoX]

These two patches are applied on top of patches:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/3/368
It has been added in -mm tree. Below is the first patch, and i will
send the second by replying this one.

From: Liu ShuoX <shuox.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

ramoops_get_next_prz get the prz according the paramters. If it get a
uninitialized prz, access its members by following persistent_ram_old_size(prz)
will cause a NULL pointer crash.
Ex: if ftrace_size is 0, fprz will be NULL.

Fix it by return NULL in advance.
