Similar checks exist in packet_snd() via commit dc633700f00f ("net/af_packet: check len when min_header_len equals to 0") and in packet_sendmsg_spkt() via commit 6a341729fb31 ("af_packet: Don't send zero-byte data in packet_sendmsg_spkt()."). Return -EINVAL in tpacket_fill_skb() when skb->len is zero to reject zero-length packets in tpacket_snd().
