powerpc/prom_init: Fix build failure with GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL and KASAN
When CONFIG_KASAN is selected, we expect prom_init to use __memset() because it is too early to use memset(). But with CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_STRUCTLEAK_BYREF_ALL, the compiler adds calls to memset() to clear objects on stack, hence the following failure: PROMCHK arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check Error: External symbol 'memset' referenced from prom_init.c make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/Makefile:204 : arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init_check] Erreur 1 prom_find_machine_type() is called from prom_init() and is called only once, so lets put compat[] in BSS instead of stack to avoid that.
