[PATCH] kobject: Safe return of kobject_get_path with NULL

[Christian Löhle]

Prevent NULL dereference within get_kobj_path_length

Calling kobject_get_path could provoke a NULL dereference
if NULL was passed. while fill_kobj_path will return
with a sane 0 for NULL, kobjet_get_path_length did not.
