This bug was bisected to commit 0a3e060f340d ("tipc: add test for Nagle
algorithm effectiveness"). However, it is not the case, the trouble was
from the base in the case of zero data length message sending, we would
unexpectedly make an empty 'txq' queue after the 'tipc_msg_append()' in
Nagle mode.

A similar crash can be generated even without the bisected patch but at
the link layer when it accesses the empty queue.

We solve the issues by building at least one buffer to go with socket's
header and an optional data section that may be empty like what we had
with the 'tipc_msg_build()'.

Note: the previous commit 4c21daae3dbc ("tipc: Fix NULL pointer
dereference in __tipc_sendstream()") is obsoleted by this one since the
'txq' will be never empty and the check of 'skb != NULL' is unnecessary
but it is safe anyway.
