commit ea298e6ee8b34b3ed4366be7eb799d0650ebe555 upstream.
Fix the following kasan finding: BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in ccwgroup_create_dev+0x850/0x1140 Read of size 1 at addr 0000000000000000 by task systemd-udevd.r/561

The problem is that __get_next_id in ccwgroup_create_dev might set "buf" buffer pointer to NULL and explicit check for that is required.
