[ Upstream commit 0585c53b21541cd6b17ad5ab41b371a0d52e358c ]

When building with clang older than 17 targeting architectures that use
asm goto for their get_user() and put_user(), such as arm64, after
commit f3d233daf011 ("ALSA: pcm: Relax __free() variable declarations"),
there are bogus errors around skipping over a variable declared with the
cleanup attribute:

sound/core/pcm_native.c:3308:6: error: cannot jump from this asm goto statement to one of its possible targets
if (put_user(result, &_xfern->result))
^
...
arch/arm64/include/asm/uaccess.h:298:2: note: expanded from macro '__put_mem_asm'
asm goto(
^
sound/core/pcm_native.c:3295:6: note: possible target of asm goto statement
if (put_user(0, &_xfern->result))
^
...
sound/core/pcm_native.c:3300:8: note: jump exits scope of variable with __attribute__((cleanup))
void *bufs __free(kfree) =
^

clang-17 fixed a bug in clang's jump scope checker [1] where all labels
in a function were checked as valid targets for all asm goto instances
in a function, regardless of whether they were actual targets in a
paricular asm goto's provided list of labels.

To workaround this, revert the change done to
snd_pcm_xfern_frames_ioctl() by commit f3d233daf011 ("ALSA: pcm: Relax
__free() variable declarations") to avoid a variable declared with
cleanup from existing between multiple uses of asm goto. There are no
other uses of cleanup in this function so there should be low risk from
moving this variable back to the top of the function.
