powerpc: Fix boot wrapper memcmp() called with zero length argument
I noticed, when trying to use, e.g., node = find_node_by_prop_value(prev, "booleanprop", "", 0)) to search for all nodes with a certain boolean property, that memcmp() returns garbage when comparing zero bytes. It should return zero. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
