The subsequent excludeCorrectlyTaggedNodes call then iterates every entry in aclPolicy.TagOwners (1502 in our prod policy) and allocates a fresh tags slice, only to operate on an empty machine set. Short-circuit before that wasteful work. Output is bit-identical: excludeCorrectlyTaggedNodes returns an empty slice when given empty nodes, which already hits the "if len(filteredMachines) == 0" branch below.
