[PATCH v4 1/4] lib/vsprintf: Avoid redundant work with 0 size

[Waiman Long]

For *scnprintf(), vsnprintf() is always called even if the input size is
0. That is a waste of time, so just return 0 in this case.

Note that vsnprintf() will never return -1 to indicate an error. So
skipping the call to vsnprintf() when size is 0 will have no functional
impact at all.
