kernel/kmod.c: check for NULL in call_usermodehelper_exec()

If /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains only "|", a NULL pointer
dereference happens upon core dump because argv_split("") returns
argv[0] == NULL.

This bug was once fixed by commit 264b83c0 ("usermodehelper: check
subprocess_info->path != NULL") but was by error reintroduced by commit
7f57cfa4 ("usermodehelper: kill the sub_info->path[0] check").

This bug seems to exist since 2.6.19 (the version which core dump to
pipe was added).  Depending on kernel version and config, some side
effect might happen immediately after this oops (e.g.  kernel panic with
2.6.32-358.18.1.el6).
