[PATCH i-g-t 2/3] lib/igt_sysfs: make sure to write empty strings

[Lucas De Marchi]

	echo -n "" > /sys/module/<modulename>/parameters/<param>

doesn't really work as it will just create a open() + close() expecting
the file to be truncated. The same issue happens with igt as it will
stop writing when there are 0 chars to write. Special case the empty
string so it always write a '\0' and make sure igt_sysfs_set() accounts
for the extra null char.

Shell example:
	# echo -n "/foo" > /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path
	# cat /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path
	/foo
	# echo -n "" > /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path
	/foo
	# # make sure to actually write a \0:
	echo -ne "\0" > /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path
	# cat /sys/module/firmware_class/parameters/path
	/foo

Same thing happens when testing igt_sysfs_set():
       int dirfd = open("/sys/module/firmware_class/parameters", O_RDONLY);
       igt_sysfs_set(dirfd, "path", "");

Previously it was not really setting the param.
