[PATCH] block: fix infinite loop in badblocks_clear()

[Ramesh Adhikari <adhikari.resume@gmail.com>]

An infinite loop can occur in _badblocks_clear() when BB_OFFSET(p[prev + 1])
equals bad.start, resulting in len = 0. This causes the update_sectors loop
to spin forever without making progress:

    s += 0;         // no advancement
    sectors -= 0;   // stays positive
    goto re_clear;  // infinite loop

After approximately 21 seconds, the RCU stall detector triggers and the
system becomes completely unresponsive, requiring a hard reboot.

Add a check to ensure len is non-zero before entering the loop.
