3.13.11.10 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Xiubo Li <Li.Xiubo at freescale.com>

commit d6b41cb06044a7d895db82bdd54f6e4219970510 upstream.

Since we cannot make sure the 'val_count' will always be none zero
here, and then if it equals to zero, the kmemdup() will return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which equals to ((void *)16).

So this patch fix this with just doing the zero check before calling
kmemdup().
