irda: irttp: allow zero byte packets

Sending zero byte packets is not neccessarily an error (AF_INET accepts it,
too), so just apply a shortcut. This was discovered because of a non-working
software with WINE. See

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.irda.general/1643

for very detailed debugging information and a testcase. Kudos to Wolfgang for
those!
