4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Matthias Kaehlcke <[email protected]>

commit 93f56de259376d7e4fff2b2d104082e1fa66e237 upstream.

When clang detects a non-boolean constant in a logical operation it
generates a 'constant-logical-operand' warning. In
ieee80211_try_rate_control_ops_get() the result of strlen(<const str>)
is used in a logical operation, clang resolves the expression to an
(integer) constant at compile time when clang's builtin strlen function
is used.

Change the condition to check for strlen() > 0 to make the constant
operand boolean and thus avoid the warning.
