md-cache: avoid checking the xattr value buffer with string functions.
xattrs may very well contain binary, non-text data with leading 0 values. Using strcmp for checking empty values is not the appropriate thing to do: In the best case, it might treat a binary xattr value starting with 0 from being cached (and hence also from being reported back with xattr). In the worst case, we might read beyond the end of a data blob that does contain any zero byte. We fix this by checking the length of the data blob and checking the first byte against 0 if the length is one.
