clang fails to see that rbd_assert(0) ends in an unreachable code
path and warns about a subsequent use of an uninitialized variable
when CONFIG_PROFILE_ANNOTATED_BRANCHES is set:
drivers/block/rbd.c:2402:4: error: variable 'ret' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
[-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
rbd_assert(0);

This seems to be a bug in clang, but is easy to work around by using
an unconditional BUG().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
