From: Liu ShuoX <shuox.liu@xxxxxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

commit b0aa931fb84431394d995472d0af2a6c2b61064d upstream.

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.
