If a floppy drive isn't selected for snapshot explicitly and is empty don't try to snapshot it. For external snapshots this would fail as we can't generate a name for the snapshot from an empty drive.

The only limitation is that the check for the empty source probably needs to be stronger (NBD disks may have the disk->src->path NULL even if they have backing.)

I'll post a v2.
