Dmitry reported a kernel warning:

 WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 2936 at net/kcm/kcmsock.c:627

when calling syscall(__NR_write, sock2, 0x208aaf27ul, 0x0ul) on a KCM
seqpacket socket. It appears that kcm_sendmsg() does not handle len==0
case correctly, which causes an empty skb is allocated and queued.
Fix this by skipping the skb allocation for len==0 case.
