From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

gcc-11 points out that modifying local variables next to a
longjmp/setjmp may cause undefined behavior:

arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c: In function 'crash_kexec_prepare_cpus.constprop':

arch/powerpc/xmon/xmon.c:492:48: error: argument 'fromipi' might be clobbered by 'longjmp' or 'vfork' [-Werror=clobbered]

According to the documentation, marking these as 'volatile' is
sufficient to avoid the problem, and it shuts up the warning.
