copying: do not prevent M-6 from copying emptiness into the cutbuffer

The check mistakenly prevented the user from copying a region that
ended at EOF.  Removing the check also gives the user a way to clear
the cutbuffer (with M-A M-6 or ^6 M-6, for example).

This fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56563.
