Fixes this.

A NULL pointer is only ever passed when the array size is zero, and real world qsort() implementations seem to behave in a sensible manner under those conditions, so this isn't a problem that's going to inconvenience anyone. Good to get it right anyway.

Thanks for the report.

## Description

```

dnsmasq attempts to pass a null pointer (NULL) to a function in the domain-match.c file at line 82,

while the function's parameter is declared as nonnull (i.e., it must not be NULL).

As declared in the function's parameter attributes in C, the function expects to receive a non-null pointer.

However, dnsmasq passes a null pointer during the function call, which may lead to a program crash.
