nfsd: make nfs4xdr WRITEMEM safe against zero count

WRITEMEM zeroes the last word in the destination buffer
for padding purposes, but this must not be done if
no bytes are to be copied, as it would result
in zeroing of the word right before the array.

The current implementation works since it's always called
with non zero nbytes or it follows an encoding of the
string (or opaque) length which, if equal to zero,
can be overwritten with zero.

Nevertheless, it seems safer to check for this case.
