Subject[ 115/153] sysctl: fix null checking in bin_dn_node_address()
3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Xi Wang <xi.wang@gmail.com>

commit df1778be1a33edffa51d094eeda87c858ded6560 upstream.

The null check of `strchr() + 1' is broken, which is always non-null,
leading to OOB read. Instead, check the result of strchr().
