samples: bpf: fix: seg fault with NULL pointer arg
When NULL pointer accidentally passed to write_kprobe_events, due to strlen(NULL), segmentation fault happens. Changed code returns -1 to deal with this situation. Bug issued with Smatch, static analysis. Signed-off-by: Daniel T. Lee <danieltimlee@gmail.com> Acked-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net>
