Subject: [PATCH 4.7 091/186] nfs: dont create zero-length requests

4.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Benjamin Coddington <bcodding@...hat.com>

commit 149a4fddd0a72d526abbeac0c8deaab03559836a upstream.

NFS doesn't expect requests with wb_bytes set to zero and may make
unexpected decisions about how to handle that request at the page IO layer.
Skip request creation if we won't have any wb_bytes in the request.
