[PATCH v1 3/3] xen/libfdt: fix UBSAN null pointer in fdt_property()



fdt_property() unconditionally calls memcpy(ptr, val, len) even when
len is zero and val is NULL.  This is a legitimate calling convention
for adding empty FDT properties such as "interrupt-controller", which
carry no payload.

In Xen, memcpy() maps to __builtin_memcpy(). The compiler treats
__builtin_memcpy as nonnull on its pointer arguments, so UBSAN fires
before it can observe that len is zero:
  UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in common/libfdt/fdt_sw.c:333:2
         null pointer passed as argument 2, declared with nonnull
         attribute

Guard the memcpy() with a check on len so it is skipped entirely when
there is no payload to copy, bringing the code in line with the
nonnull contract.
