Prevent null dereferences in kadmind server stubs
In server_stubs.c, when a stub function uses a policy name as
prime_arg, check for a null value and return an error.
CVE-2026-112318:
The policy RPC stubs in kadmin/server/server_stubs.c in MIT Kerberos 5
(aka krb5) 1.5.3 and later do not reject a NULL policy name decoded by
xdr_nullstring(), which allows remote authenticated users to cause a
denial of service (kadmind crash via NULL pointer dereference) by
sending a policy request with an empty policy name that reaches
authorization checks or logging code.
