##### SUMMARY
Running ansible with `--limit a,` or `--limit a,,b` or `--limit ,` leads to (when `-vvv` is added)

##### ISSUE TYPE
- Bug Report

##### COMPONENT NAME
lib/ansible/inventory/manager.py

##### ANSIBLE VERSION
```
2.9.0
```
Also happens with `devel`, and potentially older ansible versions.

##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Run `ansible-playbook playbook.yml --limit a,` for an existing playbook `playbook.yml` (doesn't matter what it actually does, and also does not matter whether you use `a` or a real host name). Same result with `--limit a,,b` or similar expressions where `.split(',')` will lead to an empty string in the resulting list.

##### EXPECTED RESULTS
Ansible complaining about syntax, or simply ignoring the trailing comma / empty parts of the `.split(',')`.

##### ACTUAL RESULTS
```
