commit 75e2f0a6b16141cb347f442033ec907380d4d66e upstream.

When building the kernel with "make EXTRA_CFLAGS=...", this overrides
the "PARANOID" preprocessor macro defined in arch/x86/math-emu/Makefile,
and we run into a build warning:

  arch/x86/math-emu/reg_compare.c: In function ‘compare_i_st_st’:
  arch/x86/math-emu/reg_compare.c:254:6: error: ‘f’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This fixes the implementation to work correctly even without the PARANOID
flag, and also fixes the Makefile to not use the EXTRA_CFLAGS variable
but instead use the ccflags-y variable in the Makefile that is meant
for this purpose.
