For some qemu_chr_parse_* functions, we just check whether the parameter is NULL or not, not check its length.
For example: qemu-system-x86_64 -chardev pipe,id=id,path= It will pass the check of NULL, and finds the error until trying to open it. So we should find the error by check its length, just like what qemu_chr_parse_udp does, it will help find what exactly is wrong.
