On Go1.2 until Go1.8, the following would return an empty string:

(*runtime.Func)(nil).Name()

But a regression on Go1.9 (0efc8b2) causes this to panic:

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x0 pc=0x43ab52]

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.main()
	/tmp/sandbox221545061/main.go:7 +0x2a

It's probably worth keeping this behavior since a number of users blindly do runtime.FuncForPC(myPtr).Name() without checking that myPtr is non-nil.
