pstore/ram: Do not treat empty buffers as valid
The ramoops backend currently calls persistent_ram_save_old() even if a buffer is empty. While this appears to work, it is does not seem like the right thing to do and could lead to future bugs so lets avoid that. It also prevents misleading prints in the logs which claim the buffer is valid. I got something like: found existing buffer, size 0, start 0 When I was expecting: no valid data in buffer (sig = ...) This bails out early (and reports with pr_debug()), since it's an acceptable state.
