5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: guoweikang <guoweikang.kernel@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 45af52e7d3b8560f21d139b3759735eead8b1653 upstream.
When executing the following command:
# echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
The current mod command causes a null pointer dereference. While commit
0f17976568b3f ("ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter")
has addressed part of the issue, it left a corner case unhandled, which still
results in a kernel crash.
