Subject: [PATCH 5.2 037/131] scsi: zfcp: fix GCC compiler warning emitted with -Wmaybe-uninitialized

[ Upstream commit 484647088826f2f651acbda6bcf9536b8a466703 ]

GCC v9 emits this warning:
      CC      drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_erp.o
    drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_erp.c: In function 'zfcp_erp_action_enqueue':
    drivers/s390/scsi/zfcp_erp.c:217:26: warning: 'erp_action' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
      217 |  struct zfcp_erp_action *erp_action;
          |                          ^~~~~~~~~~

This is a possible false positive case, as also documented in the GCC
documentations:
    https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html#index-Wmaybe-uninitialized

The actual code-sequence is like this:
    Various callers can invoke the function below with the argument "want"
    being one of:
    ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_ADAPTER,
    ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT_FORCED,
    ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT, or
    ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_LUN.

    zfcp_erp_action_enqueue(want, ...)
        ...
        need = zfcp_erp_required_act(want, ...)
            need = want
            ...
            maybe: need = ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT
            maybe: need = ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_ADAPTER
            ...
            return need
        ...
        zfcp_erp_setup_act(need, ...)
            struct zfcp_erp_action *erp_action; // <== line 217
            ...
            switch(need) {
            case ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_LUN:
                    ...
                    erp_action = &zfcp_sdev->erp_action;
                    WARN_ON_ONCE(erp_action->port != port); // <== access
                    ...
                    break;
            case ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT:
            case ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_PORT_FORCED:
                    ...
                    erp_action = &port->erp_action;
                    WARN_ON_ONCE(erp_action->port != port); // <== access
                    ...
                    break;
            case ZFCP_ERP_ACTION_REOPEN_ADAPTER:
                    ...
                    erp_action = &adapter->erp_action;
                    WARN_ON_ONCE(erp_action->port != NULL); // <== access
                    ...
                    break;
            }
            ...
            WARN_ON_ONCE(erp_action->adapter != adapter); // <== access

When zfcp_erp_setup_act() is called, 'need' will never be anything else
than one of the 4 possible enumeration-names that are used in the
switch-case, and 'erp_action' is initialized for every one of them, before
it is used. Thus the warning is a false positive, as documented.

We introduce the extra if{} in the beginning to create an extra code-flow,
so the compiler can be convinced that the switch-case will never see any
other value.

BUG_ON()/BUG() is intentionally not used to not crash anything, should
this ever happen anyway - right now it's impossible, as argued above; and
it doesn't introduce a 'default:' switch-case to retain warnings should
'enum zfcp_erp_act_type' ever be extended and no explicit case be
introduced. See also v5.0 commit 399b6c8bc9f7 ("scsi: zfcp: drop old
default switch case which might paper over missing case").
