Subject: [PATCH] kernfs: fix potential null-ptr-deref in kernfs_path_from_node_locked()

Ensure that the 'buf' is not empty before strlcpy() uses it.

Commit bbe70e4e4211 ("fs: kernfs: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences
in kernfs_path_from_node_locked()") first noticed this, but it didn't
fix it completely.

Fixes: 9f6df573a404 ("kernfs: Add API to generate relative kernfs path")
