Honor vnet_rewrite_data_t data_bytes == 0
Avoid the cache miss consequences of spraying [functionally harmless] junk into un-prefetched rewrite space. As things stand, several tunnel encap rewrites set rewrite data_bytes = 0, and take a performance hit due to unwanted speculative copying. Should be performance-neutral in speed-path cases, which won't execute the added check. Change-Id: Id83c0325e58c0f31631b4bae5a06457dfc7ed567 Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>
