Fix: notification: assert on len > 0 for dropped notification message

Observed issue
==============

Using the notification client from
doc/examples/trigger-condition-event-matches/notification-client.cpp, an
assert is hit when the notification subsystem is under load.

 (gdb) print msg
 $2 = {type = 5 '\005', size = 0, fds = 0, payload = 0x7ffdefed24a8 ""}

The msg type 5 is
`LTTNG_NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_TYPE_NOTIFICATION_DROPPED`

Cause
=====

The msg portion of a
`LTTNG_NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_TYPE_NOTIFICATION_DROPPED` is indeed
zero. There is no extra payload.

Solution
========

When the msg size is zero, skip the 'payload' reception phase.

Known drawbacks
=========

None.
