Mykyta Yatsenko 3dc32adf98 maccess: fix strncpy_from_user_nofault() empty string handling
strncpy_from_user_nofault() should return the length of the copied string
including the trailing NUL, but if the argument unsafe_addr points to an
empty string ({'\0'}), the return value is 0.

This happens as strncpy_from_user() copies terminal symbol into dst and
returns 0 (as expected), but strncpy_from_user_nofault does not modify ret
as it is not equal to count and not greater than 0, so 0 is returned,
which contradicts the contract.
