inotify: do not send a block of zeros when no pathname is available

When an event has no pathname, there's no need to pad it with a null byte and
therefore generate an inotify_event sized block of zeros. This fixes a
regression introduced by commit 0db501bd0610ee0c0aca84d927f90bcccd09e2bd where
my system wouldn't finish booting because some process was being confused by
this.
