[PATCH v3 1/10] util/fifo8: Allow fifo8_pop_buf() to not populate popped length

["Philippe Mathieu-Daudé" <philmd@linaro.org>]

There might be cases where we know the number of bytes we can
pop from the FIFO, or we simply don't care how many bytes is
returned. Allow fifo8_pop_buf() to take a NULL numptr.
