crypto: chacha20poly1305 - Skip encryption/decryption for 0-len
If the length of the plaintext is zero, there's no need to waste cycles on encryption and decryption. Using the chacha20poly1305 construction for zero-length plaintexts is a common way of using a shared encryption key for AAD authentication. Signed-off-by: Jason A.
