qxl: keep going if reaching guest bug on empty area

Xorg server hangs when using xfig and typing a text with space:
 #0  qxl_wait_for_io_command (qxl=<value optimized out>) at qxl_io.c:47
 #1  0x00007f826a49a299 in qxl_download_box (surface=0x221d030, x1=231, y1=259,
     x2=<value optimized out>, y2=<value optimized out>) at qxl_surface.c:143

       while (!(ram_header->int_pending & QXL_INTERRUPT_IO_CMD))
         usleep (1);

The QXL driver is calling QXL_IO_UPDATE_AREA with an empty area. This
is a guest bug. The call is async and no ack is sent back on guest
bug, so the X server will hang. The driver should be improved to avoid
this situation and also to abort on QXL_INTERRUPT_ERROR. This will be
a different patch series for the driver. However, it is simple enough
to keep qemu running on empty areas update, which is what this patch
provides.
