[ Upstream commit 8dfd2f22d3bf3ab7714f7495ad5d897b8845e8c1 ]

Callers of sprint_oid() do not check its return value before printing the result. In the case where the OID is zero-length, -EBADMSG was being returned without anything being written to the buffer, resulting in uninitialized stack memory being printed. Fix this by writing "(bad)" to the buffer in the cases where -EBADMSG is returned.
