Subject: kernel/sys.c: avoid argv_free(NULL)
X-Git-Tag: next-20120725~1^2~122
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a1cf18360a21d9320219597868fea58a9488a374;p=karo-tx-linux.git

kernel/sys.c: avoid argv_free(NULL)

If argv_split() failed, the code will end up calling argv_free(NULL).  Fix
it up and clean things up a bit.

Addresses Coverity report 703573.
