If the parameter was derived from FSCONFIG_SET_STRING in fsconfig() then
param->string is guaranteed to not be NULL. So really this is only
about:

FSCONFIG_SET_FD
FSCONFIG_SET_BINARY
FSCONFIG_SET_PATH
FSCONFIG_SET_PATH_EMPTY

and those values being used without a value. What filesystem does this?
I don't see any.

The tempting thing to do here is to to just remove fs_param_can_be_empty
from every helper that isn't fs_param_is_string() until we actually have
a filesystem that wants to use any of the above as flags. Will lose a
lot of code that isn't currently used.
