agp/hp: fixup hp agp after ACPI changes
Commit 15b8dd53f5ffa changed the string in info->hardware_id from a static
array to a pointer and added a length field. But instead of changing
"sizeof(array)" to "length", we changed it to "sizeof(length)" (== 4),
which corrupts the string we're trying to null-terminate.
We no longer even need to null-terminate the string, but we *do* need to
check whether we found a HID. If there's no HID, we used to have an empty
array, but now we have a null pointer.
The combination of these defects causes this oops:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 0000000000000003)
modprobe[895]: Oops 8804682956800 [1]
