OK, compiler guys, this code reads like:

#define schedstats_enabled()	(0)
#define __schedstat_set(x, y)	do { } while (0)


	if (schedstats_enabled()) {
		struct sched_statistics *stats = __schedstats_from_se(curr);

		__schedstat_set(stats->exec_max,
				max(delta_exec, stats->exec_max));
	}

So yes, we initialize a variable that then isn't used, but the whole
bloody thing is inside if (0) which will not ever get ran *anyway*.

This is a crap warning if ever I saw one...
