[PATCH v6.10 1/3] fs: new helper vfs_empty_path()

[Miao Wang via B4 Relay <devnull+shankerwangmiao.gmail.com@kernel.org>]

From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>

commit 1bc6d44 upstream.

Make it possible to quickly check whether AT_EMPTY_PATH is valid.
Note, after some discussion we decided to also allow NULL to be passed
instead of requiring the empty string.
