[PATCH v3] sched/core: silence a warning in sched_init()

From: Qian Cai
Date: Fri Jul 19 2019 - 12:05:39 EST


Compiling a kernel with both FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=n and RT_GROUP_SCHED=n
will generate a compiler warning,

kernel/sched/core.c: In function 'sched_init':
kernel/sched/core.c:5906:32: warning: variable 'ptr' set but not used
[-Wunused-but-set-variable]
unsigned long alloc_size = 0, ptr;
^~~
Silence it by adding a check in a if statement to actually use it.

Signed-off-by: Qian Cai <cai@xxxxxx>

v3: Use a different approach to see if Peter will like it.
v2: Incorporate the feedback from Valentin.
