[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/1] kni: fix segfault in rte_kni_get

[Dan Gora]

Fix a segmentation fault which occurs when the kni_autotest is run
in the 'test' application.

This segmenation fault occurs when rte_kni_get() is called with a
NULL value for 'name'.

Fixes: 0c6bc8ef70ba ("kni: memzone pool for alloc and release")
