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.

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.
