Subject: [PATCH 5.16 0267/1039] x86/uaccess: Move variable into switch case statement

From: Kees Cook <keescook@...omium.org>

[ Upstream commit 61646ca83d3889696f2772edaff122dd96a2935e ]

When building with automatic stack variable initialization, GCC 12
complains about variables defined outside of switch case statements.
Move the variable into the case that uses it, which silences the warning:

./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:317:23: warning: statement will never be executed [-Wswitch-unreachable]
  317 |         unsigned char x_u8__; \
      |                       ^~~~~~
