I've changed this to "no payload" to make it more unambiguous.
those RTR frames still use the DLC to indicate the length of the
requested frame.

For this reason, it is incorrect to copy the payload of RTR frames
(the payload buffer would only contain garbage data). This patch
encapsulates the payload copy in a check toward the RTR flag.
