net/ncsi: avoid maybe-uninitialized warning

gcc-4.9 and higher warn about the newly added NSCI code:

net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c: In function 'ncsi_process_next_channel':
net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:1003:2: error: 'old_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

The warning is a false positive and therefore harmless, but it would be good to
avoid it anyway. I have determined that the barrier in the spin_unlock_irqsave()
is what confuses gcc to the point that it cannot track whether the variable
was unused or not.

This rearranges the code in a way that makes it obvious to gcc that old_state
is always initialized at the time of use, functionally this should not
change anything.
