    tools/libxc: Tolerate specific zero-content records in migration v2 streams
    
    The migration v2 save code was written to avoid sending data records with no
    content, as such records serve no purpose but come with a performance hit.
    The restore code sanity checks this expectation.
    
    Under some circumstances (most notably, on AMD hardware with Debug 
Extensions,
    and a PV guest kernel which is not using the feature), the save code would
    generate a record with no content, which trips the sanity check in the 
restore
    code.
    
    As the stream is otherwise fine, tolerate these records and avoid failing 
the
    migration.
