Subject: [PATCH 1/5] MIPS: Don't use bc_false uninitialized in __mm_isBranchInstr

clang warns:

arch/mips/kernel/branch.c:148:8: error: variable 'bc_false' is used
uninitialized whenever switch case is taken
[-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
                case mm_bc2t_op:

                        ^
2 errors generated.

When mm_bc1t_op and mm_bc2t_op are taken, the bc_false initialization
does not happen, which leads to a garbage value upon use, as illustrated
below with a small sample program.

Move the definition up so that we get the right behavior and mark it
__maybe_unused as it will not be used when CONFIG_MIPS_FP_SUPPORT
isn't enabled.
