Fix LDAP null deref on empty arg [CVE-2016-3119]

In the LDAP KDB module's process_db_args(), strtok_r() may return NULL
if there is an empty string in the db_args array.  Check for this case
and avoid dereferencing a null pointer.

CVE-2016-3119:

In MIT krb5 1.6 and later, an authenticated attacker with permission
to modify a principal entry can cause kadmind to dereference a null
pointer by supplying an empty DB argument to the modify_principal
command, if kadmind is configured to use the LDAP KDB module.

    CVSSv2 Vector: AV:N/AC:H/Au:S/C:N/I:N/A:C/E:H/RL:OF/RC:ND
