[PATCH][BZ #13724] Do not segfault in pthread_setname_np (x, NULL)


Hi, this is another bug that could be handled quickly. Problem is if 
pthread_setname_np (x, NULL) should return error code or segfault. 
(see https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13724 )
If first is desired then following patch does it. If we choose for
second then close that bugzilla entry.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pthread_setname.c (pthread_setname_np):
	Handle null.
