Subject: [PATCH] sched/topology: fix KASAN warning in hop_cmp()

Despite that prev_hop is used conditionally on curr_hop is not the

curr --> cur

first hop, it's initialized unconditionally.

Because initialization implies dereferencing, it might happen that
the code dereferences uninitialized memory, which has been spotted by
KASAN. Fix it by reorganizing hop_cmp() logic.

Nice catch! I guess it deserves for a comment inside the code
(IIRC I was puzzled of the logic behind and it was changed due
 to lack of this knowledge.)
