linux-user: make pwrite64/pread64(fd, NULL, 0, offset) return 0

Linux returns success if pwrite64() or pread64() are called with a
zero length NULL buffer, but QEMU was returning -TARGET_EFAULT.

This is the same bug that we fixed in commit 58cfa6c2e6eb51b23cc9
for the write syscall, and long before that in 38d840e6790c29f59
for the read syscall.
