Subject: [PATCH 5.2 091/137] MIPS: Dont use bc_false uninitialized in __mm_isBranchInstr

From: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit c2869aafe7191d366d74c55cb8a93c6d0baba317 ]

clang warns:

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.
