    net/ncsi: avoid maybe-uninitialized warning · a1b43edd
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    gcc-4.9 and higher warn about the newly added NSCI code:
    
    net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c: In function 'ncsi_process_next_channel':
    net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:1003:2: error: 'old_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
    
    The warning is a false positive and therefore harmless, but it would be good to
    avoid it anyway. I have determined that the barrier in the spin_unlock_irqsave()
    is what confuses gcc to the point that it cannot track whether the variable
    was unused or not.
    
    This rearranges the code in a way that makes it obvious to gcc that old_state
    is always initialized at the time of use, functionally this should not
    change anything.
