[S390] cmm: fix crash on case conversion
When the cmm module is compiled into the kernel it will crash when writing to the R/O data section. Reason is the lower to upper case conversion of the "sender" module parameter which ignored the fact that the pointer is preinitialized. Introduced with 41b42876 "cmm, smsgiucv_app: convert sender to uppercase" Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
