This issue did not exist before commit ac369cdd9448, because kernel will
sets param->string a string(although a zero length string) by kmemdup_nul()
when fs string has zero length in vfs_parse_fs_string(). So it will ensures
that param->string is not a null pointer in hugetlbfs_parse_param().

I also revert commit ac369cdd9448 or reset to ac369cdd9448~, and test
the syzkaller reproducer. The reproducer does not trigger any issue
in both situations.
