[PATCH RFC 04/38] s390/dasd: don't look in front of the buffer on an empty write

[Christian Brauner]

dasd_get_user_string() strips a trailing newline by looking at the last
byte that was written. For an empty write that's the byte in front of
the buffer it just allocated. Only look if something was written.
