[1/9] Do not pass NULL to memcpy

  -fsanitize=undefined pointed out a couple of spots that pass NULL to
memcpy, which is undefined behavior according to the C standard.

ChangeLog
2018-08-27  Tom Tromey  <tom@tromey.com>

	* namespace.c (add_using_directive): Don't pass NULL to memcpy.
	* dwarf2-frame.h (struct dwarf2_frame_state_reg_info): Don't pass
	NULL to memcpy.

While the patch does not look wrong, I think the problem would "solve itself"
"reg" was an std::vector, since an std::vector already has an appropriate copy
constructor.  It would also simplify a lot this area of the code, for example,
the alloc_regs method would become a one-liner.

Here too it would be nice to have make using_direct::excludes an std::vector,
but it is not as simple, so I think adding that "if" is reasonnable.

I did this and I'll include it as a separate patch in the next round.
