9pfs: allocate space for guest originated empty strings
If a guest sends an empty string paramater to any 9P operation, the current
code unmarshals it into a V9fsString equal to { .size = 0, .data = NULL }.
This is unfortunate because it can cause NULL pointer dereference to happen
at various locations in the 9pfs code. And we don't want to check str->data
everywhere we pass it to strcmp() or any other function which expects a
dereferenceable pointer.
This patch enforces the allocation of genuine C empty strings instead, so
callers don't have to bother.
Out of all v9fs_iov_vunmarshal() users, only v9fs_xattrwalk() checks if
the returned string is empty. It now uses v9fs_string_size() since
name.data cannot be NULL anymore.
