[ Upstream commit 7b99b5ab885993bff010ebcd93be5e511c56e28a ]
In `gpiod_get_label()`, it is possible that `srcu_dereference_check()` may
return a NULL pointer, leading to a scenario where `label->str` is accessed
without verifying if `label` itself is NULL.
This patch adds a proper NULL check for `label` before accessing
`label->str`. The check for `label->str != NULL` is removed because
`label->str` can never be NULL if `label` is not NULL.
This fixes the issue where the label name was being printed as `(efault)`
when dumping the sysfs GPIO file when `label == NULL`.
Fixes: 5a646e03e956 ("gpiolib: Return label, if set, for IRQ only line")
Fixes: a86d27693066 ("gpiolib: fix the speed of descriptor label setting with SRCU")
