Fix Smatch-detected error: drivers/block/floppy.c:3569 fd_locked_ioctl() error: uninitialized symbol 'outparam'. Use the outparam pointer only after it is explicitly initialized. Previously, fd_copyout() was called unconditionally after the switch-case statement, assuming outparam would always be set when _IOC_READ was active. However, not all paths ensured this, which led to potential use of an uninitialized pointer. Move fd_copyout() calls directly into the relevant case blocks immediately after outparam is set. This ensures it is only called when safe and applicable.
