Subject: [PATCH 1/2] x86: kvm: avoid -Wsometimes-uninitized warning

clang points out that running a 64-bit guest on a 32-bit host
would lead to uninitialized variables:

arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c:1610:6: error: variable 'ingpa' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (!longmode) {
            ^~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c:1632:55: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        trace_kvm_hv_hypercall(code, fast, rep_cnt, rep_idx, ingpa, outgpa);
                                                             ^~~~~
arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c:1610:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
        if (!longmode) {
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c:1595:18: note: initialize the variable 'ingpa' to silence this warning
        u64 param, ingpa, outgpa, ret = HV_STATUS_SUCCESS;
                        ^
                         = 0
arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c:1610:6: error: variable 'outgpa' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c:1610:6: error: variable 'param' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]

Since that combination is not supported anyway, change the condition
to tell the compiler how the code is actually executed.
