Subject[PATCH 1/2] vfs: parse: deal with zero length string value
From
Date
Parsing an fs string that has zero length should result in the parameter
being set to NULL so that downstream processing handles it correctly.
For example, the proc mount table processing should print "(none)" in
this case to preserve mount record field count, but if the value points
to the NULL string this doesn't happen.
