segfault in DAV module during PUT processing

[vl]

Issuing DAV PUT request in some scenarios can lead to the segfault.

The error log contains:

How to reproduce:

use attached nginx.conf and setup FastCGI server using attached php script that implementis
DAV extensions which nginx doesn't understand.

the client used is Nautilus 2.32.2.1 (gvfs/1.12.3) file manager on linux host.
Attempt to copy some files (looks like not too small, attached) into the DAV share served
by nginx leads to it's segfault.

Dav: fixed segfault on PUT if body was already read (ticket #238).

If request body reading happens with different options it's possible
that there will be no r->request_body->temp_file available (or even
no r->request_body available if body was discarded).  Return internal
server error in this case instead of committing suicide by dereferencing
a null pointer.
