vim-patch:8.2.4338: an error from an expression mapping messes up the display

Problem:    An error from an expression mapping messes up the display.
Solution:   When the expression results in an empty string return K_IGNORE.
            In cmdline mode redraw the command line. (closes vim/vim#9726)
