Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] 9p: v9fs_listxattr: fix %s null argument warning

W=1 warns about null argument to kprintf:
In file included from fs/9p/xattr.c:12:
In function ‘v9fs_xattr_get’,
    inlined from ‘v9fs_listxattr’ at fs/9p/xattr.c:142:9:
include/net/9p/9p.h:55:2: error: ‘%s’ directive argument is null
[-Werror=format-overflow=]
   55 |  _p9_debug(level, __func__, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
      |  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Use an empty string instead of :
 - this is ok 9p-wise because p9pdu_vwritef serializes a null string
and an empty string the same way (one '0' word for length)
 - since this degrades the print statements, add new single quotes for
xattr's name delimter (Old: "file = (null)", new: "file = ''")
