Yes, it was missing a (void) like "(void)strlcpy(...)". But Jens
unfortunately removed both warnings, so the following patch should now
be enough:

diff --git a/block/elevator.c b/block/elevator.c
index fda6be933130..dd0ed19e4fb7 100644
--- a/block/elevator.c

- strstrip(elevator_name);
- ret = __elevator_change(q, elevator_name);
+ ret = __elevator_change(q, strstrip(elevator_name));
if (!ret)
return count;
