[PATCH] linux-user: permit sendto() with NULL buf and 0 len

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

If you pass sendto() a NULL buffer, this is usually an error
(causing an EFAULT return); however if you pass a 0 length then
we should not try to validate the buffer provided. Instead we
skip the copying of the user data and possible processing
through fd_trans_target_to_host_data, and call the host syscall
with NULL, 0.

(unlock_user() permits a NULL buffer pointer for "do nothing"
so we don't need to special case the unlock code.)
