serial: earlycon: Skip parse_options() if empty string
Earlycon param strings of the form earlycon=<name> are rejected from parse_options() with an error (which, in turn, results in a NULL argument for the setup() method options parameter). Only pass non-empty string to parse_options(); this will enable handling actual parse errors differently than expected and allow formats.
