POSIX.1-2017 clearly stipulates that empty filenames aren't
allowed ([1] and [2]). Since virtiofsd is supposed to mirror
the host file system hierarchy and the host can be assumed to
be linux, we don't really expect clients to pass requests with
an empty path in it. If they do so anyway, this would eventually
cause an error when trying to create/lookup the actual inode
on the underlying POSIX filesystem. But this could still confuse
some code that wouldn't be ready to cope with this.
Filter out empty names coming from the client at the top level,
so that the rest doesn't have to care about it. This is done
everywhere we already call is_safe_path_component(), but
in a separate helper since the usual error for empty path
names is ENOENT instead of EINVAL.
