[PATCH] mac80211_hwsim: correctly handle zero length frames

syzbot, using KMSAN, has reported an uninit-value access in
hwsim_cloned_frame_received_nl(). This is happening because frame_data_len
is 0. The code doesn't detect this case and blindly tries to read the
frame's header.

Fix this by bailing out in case frame_data_len is 0.
