[ 173/175] nfsd: dont allow zero length strings in cache_parse()

[Greg KH]

3.3-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 6d8d17499810479eabd10731179c04b2ca22152f upstream.

There is no point in passing a zero length string here and quite a
few of that cache_parse() implementations will Oops if count is
zero.
