[ Upstream commit 5442dcaa0d90fc376bdfc179a018931a8f43dea4 ] This fixes a bug for messages containing both zero length and unidirectional xfers. The function spi_map_msg will allocate dummy tx and/or rx buffers for use with unidirectional transfers when the hardware can only do a bidirectional transfer. That dummy buffer will be used in place of a NULL buffer even when the xfer length is 0. Then in the function __spi_map_msg, if he hardware can dma, the zero length xfer will have spi_map_buf called on the dummy buffer. Eventually, __sg_alloc_table is called and returns -EINVAL because nents == 0. This fix prevents the error by not using the dummy buffer when the xfer length is zero.
