Hi Ryder,

Currently, empty messages are not supported in GCM mode, hence add
a check to prevent producing incorrect results.
In case the caller would provide empty messages, would there be just wrong 
data or a real problem? Note, unprivileged user space can make such requests.

If there would be a real problem (like crash), this should also go to stable.

This does not cause any problem and it just returns a wrong result.
