[PATCH] libdwfl: fix crash when reading link map

From: Omar Sandoval <osandov@fb.com>
When read_addrs() was converted was converted from a nested function to
a normal function, there was a mistake in converting "buffer" from a
closure variable to a parameter: we are checking whether the pointer
argument is NULL, not whether the buffer itself is NULL. This causes a
NULL pointer dereference when we try to use the NULL buffer later.
Fixes: 3bf41d458fb6 ("link_map: Pull read_addrs() into file scope") made
