tracing: Handle NULL formats in hold_module_trace_bprintk_format()

If a task uses a non constant string for the format parameter in
trace_printk(), then the trace_printk_fmt variable is set to NULL. This
variable is then saved in the __trace_printk_fmt section.

The function hold_module_trace_bprintk_format() checks to see if duplicate
formats are used by modules, and reuses them if so (saves them to the list
if it is new). But this function calls lookup_format() that does a strcmp()
to the value (which is now NULL) and can cause a kernel oops.

This wasn't an issue till 3debb0a9ddb ("tracing: Fix trace_printk() to print
when not using bprintk()") which added "__used" to the trace_printk_fmt
variable, and before that, the kernel simply optimized it out (no NULL value
was saved).

The fix is simply to handle the NULL pointer in lookup_format() and have the
caller ignore the value if it was NULL.
