[PATCH] Smack: Mark expected switch fall-through

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <hidden>
Date: 2018-08-01 22:39:09

In preparation to enabling -Wimplicit-fallthrough, mark switch cases
where we are expecting to fall through.

Notice that in this particular case, I replaced "No break" with a
proper "Fall through" annotation, which is what GCC is expecting
to find.

Warning level 2 was used: -Wimplicit-fallthrough=2

Holy bikeshedding, Batman! For decades I've seen "no break" as
the proper way to warn that the lack of a "break;" is intentional.
I suppose that "Fall through" makes just as much sense. Grumble.

Sure, I'll take this for 4.20 as my 4.19 changes are complete
and there doesn't seem to be special urgency.
