Subject: [PATCH net-next] tipc: Fix NULL pointer dereference in __tipc_sendstream()

tipc_sendstream() may send zero length packet, then tipc_msg_append()
do not alloc skb, skb_peek_tail() will get NULL, msg_set_ack_required
will trigger NULL pointer dereference.

Fixes: 0a3e060f340d ("tipc: add test for Nagle algorithm effectiveness")
