clang has identified a code path in which it thinks a
variable may be unused:

drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:333:4: error: variable 'bucket' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
      [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
                        fifo_pop(&ca->free_inc, bucket);
                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        if (_r) {                                                       \
            ^~

                        allocator_wait(ca, bch_allocator_push(ca, bucket));
                                                                  ^~~~~~

                if (cond)                                               \
                    ^~~~
drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:333:4: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
                        fifo_pop(&ca->free_inc, bucket);
                        ^
drivers/md/bcache/util.h:219:27: note: expanded from macro 'fifo_pop'
 #define fifo_pop(fifo, i)       fifo_pop_front(fifo, (i))
                                ^
drivers/md/bcache/util.h:189:2: note: expanded from macro 'fifo_pop_front'
        if (_r) {                                                       \
        ^
drivers/md/bcache/alloc.c:331:15: note: initialize the variable 'bucket' to silence this warning
                        long bucket;
                                   ^

This cannot happen in practice because we only enter the loop
if there is at least one element in the list.

Slightly rearranging the code makes this clearer to both the
reader and the compiler, which avoids the warning.
