drbd: don't recvmsg with zero length
This should fix a performance degradation we observed recently. If we don't expect any subheader, we should not call into the tcp stack, as that may add considerable latency if there is no data available at this point. For a synthetic synchronous write load with single outstanding writes, this additional latency when processing the "unplug remote" packet added up to a performance degradation factor >= 10.
