[PATCH] [RESEND] IB/uverbs: fix gcc-7 type warning

[Arnd Bergmann]

We get a harmless warning about the fact that we use the result of a
multiplication as a condition:

drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c: In function 'ib_uverbs_write':
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c:787:40: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c:787:117: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c:790:50: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
drivers/infiniband/core/uverbs_main.c:790:151: error: '*' in boolean context, suggest '&&' instead [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]

This changes the macro to explicitly check the number for a positive
length, which avoids the warning.

Originally submitted on July 14, but this patch is still pending.
I modified the change text this time, as the first version incorrectly
stated that it only happens with ccache.

Please just turn the thing into a function while you're at it.
I'm not even sure it needs to be inline..

Ok, the patch gets quite big once I also modify INIT_UDATA the same way,
but it seems like a good cleanup anyway. INIT_UDATA (renamed to
ib_uverbs_init_udata()) should definitely remain inline, so I'm leaving
both that way.
