kcsan: Fix 0-sized checks
Instrumentation of arbitrary memory-copy functions, such as user-copies, may be called with size of 0, which could lead to false positives. To avoid this, add a comparison in check_access() for size==0, which will be optimized out for constant sized instrumentation (__tsan_{read,write}N), and therefore not affect the common-case fast-path.
