Subject: [PATCH] Move zero argc check earlier in ksu
For improved auditability, check for a zero argc value earlier in
main() so that the first two calls to com_err() can't pass a NULL
whoami value--which would be harmless, but that may not be obvious to
a reader.
ticket: 8661
(cherry picked from commit e1b5b824f5d7388a67d0854b56d3906c4fbdd778)
