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

From: Qian Cai
Date: Mon Jun 24 2019 - 10:00:02 EST


Compiling a kernel with both FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=n and RT_GROUP_SCHED=n
will generate a warning using W=1,

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;
^~~

It apparently the maintainers don't like the proper fix [1] which
contains ugly idefs, so silence it by appending the __maybe_unused
attribute for it instead.
