The documentation does not say anything about the empty value of the
path, it's subvol=path, so I'm not sure if empty string is normally
considered a valid path.

I'll add the patch and update documentation, as it's a small issue, but
not really an urgent fix for 4.17. It also has a simple fix, to use / or
"." .
