Subject: [PATCH 1/1] i2c: dev: check i2c_msg len before memdup_user() to prevent ZERO_SIZE_PTR deref

Currently i2cdev_ioctl_rdwr() doesn't check i2c_msg len against zero
before calling memdup_user(). If this len is zero memdup_user() returns
ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which is later considered as valid since
IS_ERR(ZERO_SIZE_PTR) is false. That causes ZERO_SIZE_PTR deref oops.

Let's check i2c_msg len against zero before calling memdup_user().

This issue was triggered by syzkaller.
