[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 13/13] drbd: Don't use empty nested netlink attributes

[Philipp Reisner]

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen at linbit.com>

Before mainline commit ea5693cc (v2.6.29-rc1), empty nested netlink attributes
were not allowed.  Fix that by leaving out nested attributes if they are empty
and by allowing the top-level attributes to be missing.
