xdrgen: Initialize data pointer for zero-length items

Browse source

The xdrgen decoders for strings and opaque data had an
optimization that skipped calling xdr_inline_decode() when the
item length was zero. This left the data pointer uninitialized,
which could lead to unpredictable behavior when callers access
it.

Remove the zero-length check and always call xdr_inline_decode().
When passed a length of zero, xdr_inline_decode() returns the
current buffer position, which is valid and matches the behavior
of hand-coded XDR decoders throughout the kernel.
