[PATCH v2] [SCSI] scsi_debug: silence GCC warning

From: Paul Bolle
Date: Mon Jul 15 2013 - 14:48:12 EST


Building scsi_debug.o triggers a GCC warning:
drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c: In function âdif_verifyâ:
drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c:1755:3: warning: âcsumâ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This is a false positive. But if we transform the switch statement in
dif_compute_csum() to a straightforward if/else statement we supply GCC
with enough information to determine that csum will not be used
uninitialized.

0) v2 because I started to worry whether v1 would change an interface
(ie, the way the "guard" module parameter behaves). This patch is much
simpler, and doesn't change any behavior.

1) Still only compile tested.
