[pve-devel] [PATCH storage] base plugin: do not decode the empty string

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

If the json was empty, for example if the qemu-img command times out, a
message

    warn "could not parse qemu-img info command output for '$filename' - $err\n";

would have been printed.

This message could lead one to think the issue lies in the contents of
the json, even if the previous warning said that there was a timeout.
