sysfs: fix problems with binary files
commit 4503efd0891c40e30928afb4b23dc3f99c62a6b2 upstream. Some sysfs binary files don't like having 0 passed to them as a size. Fix this up at the root by just returning to the vfs if userspace asks us for a zero sized buffer. Thanks to Pavel Roskin for pointing this out.
