From: He Zhe <zhe.he@windriver.com>

memory_corruption_check[{_period|_size}]'s handlers do not check input
argument before passing it to kstrtoul or simple_strtoull. The argument
would be a NULL pointer if each of the kernel parameters, without its
value, is set in command line and thus cause the following panic.

This patch adds checks to prevent the panic.
