Subject: mailbox: handle empty message in tx_tick

From: Sudeep Holla <sudeep.holla@xxxxxxx>

commit cb710ab1d8a23f68ff8f45aedf3e552bb90e70de upstream.

We already check if the message is empty before calling the client
tx_done callback. Calling completion on a wait event is also invalid
if the message is empty.

This patch moves the existing empty message check earlier.
