nl: avoid NULL pointer dereference
It's a valid case to call nla_put() with NULL data and 0 len. It's done e.g. in
the nla_put_attr().
There has to be a check for data in nla_put() as passing NULL to the memcpy()
is not allowed. Even if length is 0, both pointers have to be valid.
For a reference see C99 standard (7.21.1/2), it says: "pointer arguments on
such a call shall still have valid values".
