auxdisplay: img-ascii-lcd: Fix lock-up when displaying empty string
While writing an empty string to a device attribute is a no-op, and thus
does not need explicit safeguards, the user can still write a single
newline to an attribute file:
echo > .../message
If that happens, img_ascii_lcd_display() trims the newline, yielding an
empty string, and causing an infinite loop in img_ascii_lcd_scroll().
Fix this by adding a check for empty strings. Clear the display in case
one is encountered.
