[release-branch.go1.9] reflect: fix pointer past-the-end in Call with zero-sized return value

If a function with nonzero frame but zero-sized return value is
Call'd, we may write a past-the-end pointer in preparing the
return Values. Fix by return the zero value for zero-sized
return value.

Fixes #21717.
