Add NULL checks to KUNIT_BINARY_STR_ASSERTION() so that it will fail

dereference in the strcmp().

A test failure could be that a string is unexpectedly NULL. This could
be trapped by KUNIT_ASSERT_NOT_NULL() but that would terminate the test
at that point. It's preferable that the KUNIT_EXPECT_STR*() macros can
handle NULL pointers as a failure.

I think this is the right thing to do. There's possibly an argument
that this should succeed if both are NULL, but I prefer it this way.


Maybe an _OR_NULL() variant of the string test macros would be better to
be explicit that NULL is acceptable.
