The IDRAC MIB allows physical and virtual disks to report an empty physicalDiskName / virtualDiskName. The discovery functions of dell_idrac_disks and dell_idrac_virtdisks used this name as the service item without checking, and crashed when the MIB returned an empty value because Service rejects an empty item.

Discovery now skips disks with an empty name. Such disks remain unmonitored until a follow-up change moves these plugins to index-based service items.
