The memory region of vNVDIMM on Xen is a RAM memory region, so
memory_region_get_ram_ptr() cannot be used in nvdimm_realize() to get
a pointer to the label data area in that region. To be worse, it may
abort QEMU. As Xen currently does not support labels (i.e. label size
is 0) and every access in QEMU to labels is led by a label size check,
let's not intiailize nvdimm->label_data if the label size is 0.
