[STABLE PATCH .26 .27] ACPI: avoid empty file name in sysfs

[Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org>]

From: Peter Gruber <nokos@gmx.net>

upstream 4feba70a2c1a1a0c96909f657f48b2e11e682370

Since commit bc45b1d39a925b56796bebf8a397a0491489d85c acpi tables are
allowed to have an empty signature and /sys/firmware/acpi/tables uses the
signature as filename.  Applications using naive recursion through /sys
loop forever.  A possible solution would be: (replacing the zero length
filename with the string "NULL")
