From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Constant table array array[] which must end with a empty entry and fix
below issues for validate_constant_table(array, ARRAY_SIZE(array), ...):

- Always return wrong value for good constant table array which ends
with a empty entry.

- Imprecise error message for missorted case.

- Potential NULL pointer dereference.
