[ Upstream commit 98e3862ca2b1ae595a13805dcab4c3a6d7718f4d ]

Dmitry reported a kernel warning:

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.
