Subject: [PATCH] spi: core: make zero length transfer valid again

Zero length transfer becomes invalid since
"spi: core: Validate length of the transfers in message" commit,
but it should be valid to support an odd device, for example, which
requires long delay between chipselect and the first transfer, etc.
