    libpayload: fix compiler warning for first_cmos_entry()
    
    The 'name' argument to lookup_cmos_entry() is declared to be 'char *'
    but we pass an empty string ("") which is 'const char[]' so the compiler
    legitimatly warns about discarded qualifiers here. Fix this by passing
    NULL as 'name'.
    
    Minor nitpick: The NULL test in lookup_cmos_entry() is superfluous as our
    implementation of strnlen() can handle NULL pointers gracefully. But for
    an average C hacker it just doesn't feel right not to do so.
