[libvirt] [PATCH] qemu: Fix starting of VMs with empty CDROM drives

Since 24e5cafba6dbc2722e05f92dc0ae31b0f938f9f0 (thankfully unreleased)
when a VM with an empty disk drive would be started the code would call
stat() on NULL path as a check was missing from the callback rendering
machines unstartable.

Report success when the path is empty (denoting an empty drive).
