Unlike other string functions in this library, ZeroMem () does not
return early when the length of the input buffer is 0. So add the
same to ZeroMem () as well.

This fixes an issue with the ARM implementation, whose InternalMemZeroMem
code does not expect a length of 0, and always writes at least a single
byte.

Assuming the ARM impl of InternalMemZeroMem() conforms to the
InternalMemZeroMem() contract -- if there is such a contract --, I think
this patch makes sense:

Ard:
  Could you help apply this changes for other BaseMemoryLib instances in MdePkg? 

Thanks
