    kist: Don't try to flush empty outbuf
    
    It is possible that a scheduled channel ended up with 0 bytes in its
    outbuf after the scheduling loop and having an outbuf table entry
    indicating that we need to flush bytes on the wire after the loop.
    
    This lead to attempt to write 0 bytes up to the TLS layer that would
    prevent such action.
    
    All in all, this fixes wasted CPU cycles on attempting to flush nothing.
    
    Fixes #40548
