description:
Return EIO for empty memory transfer from ptrace(2)

Certain operations of PT_READ/PT_WRITE and PIOD_READ/PIOD_WRITE can result
in 0 byte transfer and the ptrace(2) call still returned success.

GDB had a special handling of this case for PT_IO checking piod_len != 0,
but in LLDB this corner case caused infinite loop and breakage. The LLDB
case has been enhanced.

Unfortunately the status of operation of PT_READ/PT_WRITE is not
distinguishable between successful operation and empty opeartion. This
renders this call into a questionable one.

Change the behavior and return error with EIO in scenarios of
truncated/empty byte transfers by PT_READ/PT_WRITE and empty byte transfers
from PT_IO.

No code changed is needed in GDB and LLDB.
