mm/ksm: fix -Wsometimes-uninitialized from clang-21 in advisor_mode_show()

Browse Source 
commit 153ad56672 upstream.

After a recent change in clang to expose uninitialized warnings from const
variables [1], there is a false positive warning from the if statement in
advisor_mode_show().

  mm/ksm.c:3687:11: error: variable 'output' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
   3687 |         else if (ksm_advisor == KSM_ADVISOR_SCAN_TIME)
        |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  mm/ksm.c:3690:33: note: uninitialized use occurs here
   3690 |         return sysfs_emit(buf, "%s\n", output);
        |                                        ^~~~~~

Rewrite the if statement to implicitly make KSM_ADVISOR_NONE the else
branch so that it is obvious to the compiler that ksm_advisor can only be
KSM_ADVISOR_NONE or KSM_ADVISOR_SCAN_TIME due to the assignments in
advisor_mode_store().
