MDEV-7110 follow-up fix: Do not pass NULL as nonnull parameter
Passing a null pointer to the "%s" argument of a printf-like function is undefined behaviour. In the GNU libc implementation of the printf() family of functions, it happens to work. GCC 10.2.0 would diagnose this with -Wformat-overflow -Og. In -fsanitize=undefined (WITH_UBSAN=ON) builds, a runtime error would be generated. In some other builds, GCC 8 or later might infer that the parameter is nonnull and optimize away further checks whether the parameter is null, leading to SIGSEGV.
