commit: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=b6dc13c2d3754704b1bf5af4e6b957b48585102f
branch: http://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The current password checking is unable to distinguish between the user
entering an empty password or pressing Control-D. As a result, an empty
password always results in normal startup.

We modify bb_ask to return NULL if Control-D is pressed without entering
a password. The sulogin applet is then modified to only proceed to
normal startup if bb_ask returns NULL. This covers EOF with no password,
interrupt by timeout and ^C.
