When user space deletes a port from an MDB entry, the port is removed
synchronously. If this was the last port in the entry and the entry is
not joined by the host itself, then the entry is scheduled for deletion
via a timer.
The above means that it is possible for the MDB get netlink request to
retrieve an empty entry which is scheduled for deletion. This is
problematic as after deleting the last port in an entry, user space
cannot rely on a non-zero return code from the MDB get request as an
indication that the port was successfully removed.
Fix by returning an error when the entry's port list is empty and the
entry is not joined by the host.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
