Subject: kernel/sys.c: avoid argv_free(NULL)
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b57b44ae698944ffc6161352b8ff5c9cf9c592e2;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.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.
