Subject: [PATCH] external_constructor<std::valarray>: Handle empty array
 properly

Clang UBSAN complains with the following message when an empty std::valarray is passed in:

The important thing to note here is that a std::valarray is *not* a STL
container, so the usual containter and iterator semantics don't apply.

Therefore we have to check if the container is non-empty before.
