	libdm/ioctl    : libdm-iface.c 

Log message:
	Fix reading byte from char params[-1] position
	
	When the ->params string is empty - memory access is made on the byte
	before allocated buffer (catched by valgrind) - in the case it would
	constain 0x20 - it would even overwrite this buffer.
	So fix by checking len > 0 before doing such access.
	Also slightly optimise this loop from repeated strlen call.
