[IA64] Handle count==0 in sn2_ptc_proc_write()
The fix applied in e0c6d97c65e0784aade7e97b9411f245a6c543e7
"security hole in sn2_ptc_proc_write" didn't take into account
the case where count==0 (which results in a buffer underrun
when adding the trailing '\0'). Thanks to Andi Kleen for
pointing this out.
