[PATCH v2] avoid malloc(0) in getdents

[Mike Frysinger]

When getdents finishes processing, it returns 0.  Strace uses this to then
try and do malloc(0), but on some systems this will always return NULL.
Since the code won't read the pointer in question if len is 0, then don't
bother calling malloc() and set the pointer to NULL our self.

* file.c (sys_getdents, sys_getdents64): Ignore malloc(0) == NULL.
