utils: T6658: fix write_file check in case of empty directory path

[jestabro]

Change Summary

Fix check if dirname empty. This is a minor error, but an annoyance after the revisions to the migration system (T6007; not yet backported), which make use of the util write_file for vyos-save-config.py, looking ahead to making config write operations atomic (T6472).

For example, one may want to save a config locally: save some-config without dirpath, which will raise the error:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
Fix now and backport.
