qemu may pass us zero-length strings for smbios fields, when starting qemu this way ...
qemu -smbios type=1,version=,serial=test
... for example.
Today we don't specifically handle them and simply append them to the string list. Therefore we get two string-terminating zeros in a row. Result is that we by accident create a end-of-entry marker in the middle of the entry.
And dmidecode screaming bloody murder :) More detail than you probably want to know at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1052837
Fix this by handling zero-length strings like non-present strings.
