[Patch, Fortran] PR56138 - fix deferred-length character funcs w/o result variable

[Paul Richard Thomas]

Dear Tobias,

For a variety of reasons, I did not open my mailbox this morning but
got down to developing an almost identical fix and taking the PR!

Anyway, it would be best that you commit your fix, so it's OK for trunk.

Thanks

Paul
