[PATCH v2] arm64: mm: Fix dead assignment of old_pte

From: Nathan Huckleberry
Date: Tue Jul 02 2019 - 20:54:37 EST


When analyzed with the clang static analyzer the
following warning occurs

line 251, column 2
Value stored to 'old_pte' is never read

This warning is repeated every time pgtable.h is
included by another file and produces ~3500
extra warnings.

Moving old_pte into preprocessor guard.
