[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 030/100] samples: bpf: fix: seg fault with NULL pointer arg

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: "Daniel T. Lee" <danieltimlee@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit d59dd69d5576d699d7d3f5da0b4738c3a36d0133 ]

When NULL pointer accidentally passed to write_kprobe_events,
due to strlen(NULL), segmentation fault happens.
Changed code returns -1 to deal with this situation.

Bug issued with Smatch, static analysis.
