This fixes a warning with undefined behavior sanitizer (UBSAN). UBSAN is a compiler tool to check for code that is undefined according to the C standard and can be activated with -fsanitize=undefined.
The problem here is that this code is sometimes called with a NULL pointer of size 0. It's not allowed to call memcpy with a NULL pointer, even if the buffer has a size of zero. Avoid it by not calling memcpy if len is zero.
