Kees Cook af36d264aa FROMLIST: lib: test_stackinit.c: XFAIL switch variable init tests ...

The tests for initializing a variable defined between a switch
statement's test and its first "case" statement are currently not
initialized in Clang[1] nor the proposed auto-initialization feature in
GCC.

We should retain the test (so that we can evaluate compiler fixes),
but mark it as an "expected fail". The rest of the kernel source will
be adjusted to avoid this corner case.

Also disable -Wswitch-unreachable for the test so that the intentionally
broken code won't trigger warnings for GCC (nor future Clang) when
initialization happens this unhandled place.
