gcc-6 on x86 started warning about wl3501_get_encode when building
with -O2:
drivers/net/wireless/wl3501_cs.c: In function ‘wl3501_get_encode’:

I could not figure out what exactly confuses gcc here, but splitting the
wl3501_get_mib_value function into two helps the compiler to figure out
that the variables are not actually used uninitialized, and makes it
slightly clearer to a human reader what the function actually does and
which parts of it are under the spinlock.
