kbuild: Fix compiler warning with assertion when calling 'fwrite'
Reinhard Tartler discovered a corner case of calling xfwrite() where the
length of the string is zero.
Arnaud Lacombe suggested to use assertion for the corner case, as
fwrite(3) is currently used:
1) in comment printers. Empty comment are not allowed.
2) in a callback passed to expr_print(), where the string printed is
either NULL OR non-empty.
3) in the lexer, auto-generated, and unused.
I feel using assertion is a good solution:
1) It cleanly takes care of the above-mentioned corner case.
2) It can be easily disabled by defining NDEBUG.
3) It asserts xfwrite() is simply a wrapper for fwrite().
