When L3 stats are disabled, rtnl_offload_xstats_get_size_stats() returns
size of 0, which is supposed to be an indication that the corresponding
attribute should not be emitted. However, instead, the current code
reserves a 0-byte attribute.
The reason this does not show up as a citation on a kasan kernel is that
netdev_offload_xstats_get(), which is supposed to fill in the data, never
ends up getting called, because rtnl_offload_xstats_get_stats() notices
that the stats are not actually used and skips the call.
Thus a zero-length IFLA_OFFLOAD_XSTATS_L3_STATS attribute ends up in a
response, confusing the userspace.
Fix by skipping the L3-stats related block in rtnl_offload_xstats_fill().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
