[ Upstream commit fd22370226a0d8109045d0831fd5aaadee921693 ]

rpcb_register_inet4() and rpcb_register_inet6() store the result of
rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() into map->r_addr without checking it for NULL.
rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() returns NULL when its final kstrdup() fails, and
the unchecked NULL is then carried into the synchronous RPCBPROC_SET
encode path: rpcb_register_call() -> rpc_call_sync() ->
rpcb_enc_getaddr() -> encode_rpcb_string(), whose first statement is
strlen(string), dereferencing NULL and oopsing the kernel.

The crash reproduces under failslab on v6.12; with KASAN the NULL
dereference surfaces as a fault on the shadow of address zero:

 Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address
       0xdffffc0000000000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
 RIP: 0010:strlen (lib/string.c:409)
 Call Trace:
  encode_rpcb_string (net/sunrpc/rpcb_clnt.c:890)
  rpcb_enc_getaddr (net/sunrpc/rpcb_clnt.c:910)

  nfsd_rpcbind_set
  svc_register
  svc_setup_socket
  svc_addsock
  write_ports
  nfsctl_transaction_write
  vfs_write

The crash is reachable when an in-kernel RPC service (nfsd, lockd,
nfs-callback) registers with the local rpcbind under enough memory
pressure for the small GFP_KERNEL kstrdup() in rpc_sockaddr2uaddr() to
fail. The asynchronous getport path already handles this exact failure
mode by returning -ENOMEM; only the two register helpers omit the check.

Mirror that handling: bail out with -ENOMEM when rpc_sockaddr2uaddr()
returns NULL, before the address is fed into the encoder.
