[PATCH 3/5] UML - Improved error handling while locating temp dir

[Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>]

From: Jim Meyering <meyering@redhat.com>

* arch/um/os-Linux/mem.c (make_tempfile): Don't deref NULL upon failed malloc.

* arch/um/os-Linux/mem.c (make_tempfile): Handle NULL tempdir.
Don't let a long tempdir (e.g., via TMPDIR) provoke heap corruption.

[ jdike - formatting cleanups, deleted obsolete comment ]
