Subject: [char-misc-next 05/27] mei: amthif: don't copy from an empty buffer

From: Alexander Usyskin <alexander.usyskin@...el.com>

If empty message come from FW (buf_idx == 0) then the current code will
still try to copy data from not filled buffer to the user-space,
instead the code should behave the same as when end of a message
has been reached, clean resources and return 0
