lib: stackinit: hide never-taken branch from compiler

The never-taken branch leads to an invalid bounds condition, which is by
design. To avoid the unwanted warning from the compiler, hide the
variable from the optimizer.

../lib/stackinit_kunit.c: In function 'do_nothing_u16_zero':
../lib/stackinit_kunit.c:51:49: error: array subscript 1 is outside array bounds of 'u16[0]' {aka 'short unsigned int[]'} [-Werror=array-bounds=]
