4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>

commit e538409257d0217a9bc715686100a5328db75a15 upstream.

Commit 65c79230576 tried to clear the custom firmware path on exit by
writing a single space to the firmware_class.path parameter.  This
doesn't work because nothing strips this space from the value stored
and fw_get_filesystem_firmware() only ignores zero-length paths.

Instead, write a null byte.

Fixes: 0a8adf58475 ("test: add firmware_class loader test")
Fixes: 65c79230576 ("test_firmware: fix setting old custom fw path back on exit")
