WANG Cong 98e3862ca2 kcm: fix 0-length case for kcm_sendmsg()
Dmitry reported a kernel warning:

 WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 2936 at net/kcm/kcmsock.c:627

when calling syscall(__NR_write, sock2, 0x208aaf27ul, 0x0ul) on a KCM
seqpacket socket. It appears that kcm_sendmsg() does not handle len==0
case correctly, which causes an empty skb is allocated and queued.
Fix this by skipping the skb allocation for len==0 case.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
