powerpc/64s: Disable stack variable initialisation for prom_init
With GCC 12 allmodconfig prom_init fails to build:
Error: External symbol 'memset' referenced from prom_init.c
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:204: arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check] Error 1
The allmodconfig build enables KASAN, so all calls to memset in
prom_init should be converted to __memset by the #ifdefs in
asm/string.h, because prom_init must use the non-KASAN instrumented
versions.
The build failure happens because there's a call to memset that hasn't
been caught by the pre-processor and converted to __memset. Typically
that's because it's a memset generated by the compiler itself, and that
is the case here.
With GCC 12, allmodconfig enables CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN, which
causes the compiler to emit memset calls to initialise on-stack
variables with a pattern.
Because prom_init is non-user-facing boot-time only code, as a
workaround just disable stack variable initialisation to unbreak the
build.
