Make use of empty (NULL-terminated) array instead of NULL pointer to
avoid compiler errors while maintaining the behavior of the function
intact

[] Testing:
The diff between before and after of running the kselftest test of the
module shows no regression on system with x86 architecture

Let me know if any more testing is needed to be done
