There is handling in write_partial_message_data() for the case where only the length of--and no other information about--the data to be sent has been specified. It uses the zero page as the source of data to send in this case. This case doesn't occur. All message senders set up a page array, pagelist, or bio describing the data to be sent. So eliminate the block of code that handles this (but check and issue a warning for now, just in case it happens for some reason).
