[PATCH] tracing: fix potential null pointer dereference on rctr_end

[Colin King]

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently rctr_end may assigned null if strchr() fails leading to
a null pointer dereference in the following check on *(rctr_end + 1).
Fix this by also adding a null pointer check before the dereference.

Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1473700 ("Dereference null return value")

Fixes: 1cc33161a83d ("uprobes: Support SDT markers having reference count (semaphore)")
