[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/utils: Fix undefined NULL + 0

This is undefined behaviour in C, so use data = len ? data + len : data
instead if data += len. GCC optimizes the branch away in this case;
Clang unfortunately doesn't.

Checking for len != 0 instead of > 0 allows the compiler to optimize the
branch away; maybe future versions of Clang (I used 11) will do so, too.
