From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: bitfield: avoid gcc-8 -Wint-in-bool-context warning

Passing an enum into FIELD_GET() produces a long but harmless warning on
newer compilers:

                 from include/linux/linkage.h:7,
                 from include/linux/kernel.h:7,
                 from include/linux/skbuff.h:17,
                 from include/linux/if_ether.h:23,
                 from include/linux/etherdevice.h:25,
                 from drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c:63:
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c: In function 'iwl_mvm_rx_mpdu_mq':
include/linux/bitfield.h:56:20: error: enum constant in boolean context [-Werror=int-in-bool-context]
   BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(!(_mask), _pfx "mask is zero"); \
                    ^
...
include/linux/bitfield.h:103:3: note: in expansion of macro '__BF_FIELD_CHECK'
   __BF_FIELD_CHECK(_mask, _reg, 0U, "FIELD_GET: "); \
   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rxmq.c:1025:21: note: in expansion of macro 'FIELD_GET'
    le16_encode_bits(FIELD_GET(IWL_RX_HE_PHY_SIBG_SYM_OR_USER_NUM_MASK,

The problem here is that the caller has no idea how the macro gets
expanding, leading to a false-positive.  It can be trivially avoided by
doing a comparison against zero.

This only recently started appearing as the iwlwifi driver was patched to
use FIELD_GET.
