If bpf_msg_push_data is called with len 0 (as it happens during
selftests/bpf/test_sockmap), we do not need to do anything and can
return early.

If len == 0 is really unlikely in production environment, we
probably can keep it as is. There are some helpers like this
with a 'len' parameter, e.g.,  bpf_probe_read_kernel,
bpf_probe_read_user, etc. which don't have 'size == 0' check.

My point with this is that the rest of the code does not expect len to
be 0. E.g., we later call get_order(copy + len); if len is 0, copy + len
is also often 0 and get_order returns some undefined value (at the
moment 52). alloc_pages catches that and fails, but then
bpf_msg_push_data returns ENOMEM. This seems wrong because we are not
out of memory and actually do not need any additional memory.

So this actually a bug fix. Then please add the above to
commit messages and also add a Fixes tag and resubmit. Thanks!


John, could you also take a look?
