fix crash of dev server middleware

[geekflyer]

Hi, when lazy is not set, starting the dev server wil fail / crash with:

[02:13:10] Error: Invalid path ''

I don't exactly understand why lazy false doesn't work. @sokra Could you have a look at this?

In case lazy is always required, we should also update the docs here: http://webpack.github.io/docs/usage-with-gulp.html to mention that. There are other people facing the same problem / bug and fixed it with lazy:

lazy is not required and not recommended.

Maybe there is something wrong with your configuration. Did you set output.path to i. e. "/"?
