check for empty label before assigning

Prevents an empty label from being assigned to the resource builder when calling its `LabelSelectorParam` parameter. Currently, we assign the address of the provided selector string, even if the string is empty - this has the potential of returning erroneous failures since we check to see [if a selector was provided here](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/kubectl/resource/builder.go#L470), for example, by doing a nil check. Storing the pointer to [an empty string value](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/pkg/kubectl/resource/builder.go#L344) would break this check as the pointer is no longer nil

**Release note**:
```release-note
