    Revert unnecessary zlib_inflate/inftrees.c fix · c231c7db
    Linus Torvalds authored
    It turns out that empty distance code tables are not an error, and that
    a compressed block with only literals can validly have an empty table
    and should not be flagged as a data error.
    
    Some old versions of gzip had problems with this case, but it does not
    affect the zlib code in the kernel.
