[PATCH V2 2/2] debugfs: Fix crash problem caused by accessing uninitialized nodes

[Yibin Ding]

From: Yibin Ding <Yibin.ding@xxxxxxxxxx>

For uninitialized nodes such as
/sys/kernel/debug/interconnect/test_client/dst_node, if the cat operation
is performed directly without writing content to the node, it will cause
a crash due to accessing a null pointer. So it is necessary to add a null
pointer check in the debugfs_read_file_str() function.
