Subject: [PATCH 2/3] hostname-helper: fall back to kernel hostname when the
 pretty one is an empty string

The empty string is not too useful as an SSID, an attempt to create a
hotspot fails:

  (gnome-control-center:19371): network-cc-panel-WARNING **:
    Failed to add new connection: (2)
    A 'wireless' setting with a valid SSID is required if no AP path was given.
