Richard Yao b815ec32b3 Userspace can pass zero length segments via writev/readv
Userspace can trigger an assertion by passing a zero-length segment
when assertions are enabled:

The solution is to delete the assertion. This could potentially
occur in uiomove as well, which contains analogous assertions
that appear similarly unnecessary, so we remove those as well.
